The police in Kansas City have devised a typology consisting of four groups:
● Socioeconomic homeless are those who are homeless as a result of losing a job, being under-employed, spouse abuse, or a divorce.People in this classification were a part of society, but they became homeless as a result of some economic or social event.They lost their ability to "make it" in the real world;
● Mentally ill homeless are those who have mental problems but are not institutionalized or have been abandoned or thrown out by their families.These individuals generally are not ill enough for institutionalization, but they are disruptive, angry, or violent to the point that family members and friends are not able to care for them;
● Homeless lifestyle includes those individuals who have chosen the streets as their lifestyle.They feel comfortable with their lives, and they tend to view a change toward conventional styles as threatening; and
● Immigrants represent a sizable homeless population in a number of cities and small towns.They do not report being victimized to the police for fear of being deported.

Gangs do not pose a problem for police departments because police have experience in dealing with organized crime activity as well as special populations.
