Abstract
ALFONSO R, Oscar A et al. The deadly cycle of street dwellers in Bogotá. Theories, forgetting, policies and fatal outcomes. Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.41, pp.99-131. Epub Aug 06, 2019. ISSN 0124-5996. https://doi.org/10.18601/01245996.v21n41.05.
The deadly cycle of street dwellers in Bogotá Theories, forgetting, comparisons, policies and fatal outcomes The phenomenon of street homelessness is universal, although it occurs with greater intensity in the Third World metropolises. A state of the art reconstructed from a multidisciplinary perspective allows to notice certain forgetfulness about its determinants. This article hypothesizes that the entrance to habitability on the street in Bogotá takes place at any age, and that when this happens, the stage of despair with which the mortal cycle begins is anticipated.
