Dans le présent article, nous examinons les récits de 29 personnes sans abri afin de comprendre comment leurs interactions avec les policiers présentent des traits de profilage social et racial. Ces personnes sont des femmes et des hommes de 18 à 54 ans provenant du nord-est de l'Ontario. Les personnes autochtones forment la majeure partie de l'échantillonnage (66 %), tandis que les personnes anglophones, francophones ou membres de groupes racialisés en constituent des parts moins importantes. Les transcriptions des entrevues ont fait l'objet d'une analyse thématique qualitative afin d'identifier des thèmes d'interaction et de les coder. Nous examinons les cinq types d'interaction avec la police les plus communs selon deux aspects : premièrement, comment les personnes sans abri décrivent leurs mauvaises expériences d'interaction du point de vue du profilage social, y compris le profilage racial, et, deuxièmement, comment certaines actions de la police peuvent porter atteinte aux droits des personnes sans abri garantis par les articles 7 à 10 de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés. Les résultats indiquent que le profilage social est un concept plus pertinent que le profilage racial lorsqu'on considère les expériences vécues par les personnes sans abri, étant donné que la police tend apparemment à cibler l'ensemble des personnes sans abri en leur infligeant un traitement éprouvant, voire violent, qui porte atteinte à leurs droits, notamment ceux garantis par la Charte.

La prévalence du sans-abrisme et ses conséquences sociales, économiques, culturelles, ainsi que celles sur le plan de la santé constituent toujours un problème pour les gouvernants et les intervenants dans ce domaine. Cependant, il demeure difficile de définir le sans-abrisme, de dénombrer les sans-abri ou díestimer leur population et de déterminer la méthode appropriée pour étudier le sans-abrisme. En utilisant les données du projet Pauvreté, sans-abrisme et migration (2011), nous avons étudié les niveaux, expériences et raisons du sans-abrisme chez les Francophones à Timmins et à North Bay et nous les avons comparés à ceux des Anglophones et des Autochtones de ces deux communautés.

Housing, Homelessness, and Social Policy in the Urban North brings together leading scholars on northern urban housing across Alaska, the Canadian north, and Greenland. Through various case studies, contributors examine the ways in which housing insecurity and homelessness provide a critical lens on the social dimensions of northern urbanization. They also present key considerations in the development of effective and sustainable social policy for these areas. The book kickstarts a conversation between multiple stakeholders from different cultural and national regions across the North American north. It asks key questions including: What are the common problems of, and responses to, housing insecurity and homelessness across these northern regions? Is a single definition of "homelessness" even possible, or desirable? And if not, can a shared language around how to end the housing crisis and homelessness in our northern regions still occur? The contributors explore how experiences of northern towns and cities inform an overall understanding of urban forms and processes in the contemporary world, and speak directly to the emerging body of literature on cities. Highlighting key limitations to federal, state, and provincial policy, Housing, Homelessness, and Social Policy in the Urban North raises important implications for developing policy that is responsive to northern realities
