In 2007, Florida ranked number one in the country in lethal and non-lethal attacks against homeless people. Violence is something that touches everyone: man, woman, black, white, young, old. The experience of violence is different for each person. Over the last couple of weeks, Ive asked the same question of about fifty different people from Clearwater to South St. Petersburg: What kind of violence do you see most in the homeless community?
