 | | A vagrancy prosecution may be merely the cloak for a conviction which could not be obtained on the real but undisclosed grounds for the arrest. | | | Hugh Brown was charged with vagrancy - "disorderly loitering on street" and "disorderly conduct - resisting arrest with violence." | | | "The early Vagrancy Acts came into being under peculiar conditions utterly different to those of the present time. |

| | Also comparable is the motivation for the two types of laws: local vagrancy laws often forced newly arrived poor people out of the city, so the city would not have to address their needs. | | | After vagrancy laws were abolished, the police used the equally vague loitering laws to harass people who did not account for themselves to the police's satisfaction when approached. | | | These overseers sent poor people to workhouses, where they were forced to work in unfavorable conditions. |

| | VAGRANCY |
| | The book was introduced by an essay titled: Melancholy, the 'Dance of Death'and Fool Symbolism, in relation to Vagrancy. | | | In 1973 a small book on the theme of Vagrancy, written by Lenkiewicz, was published parallel to the opening of the Vagrancy Exhibition in a large derelict building on The Barbican, known at that time as 'Jacob's Ladder'. | | | In this essay Lenkiewicz associated contemporary Vagrancy with a tradition that pre-dates Diirer's brooding figure of 'Melancholia'. |

| | The problem of vagrancy has been known since man became civilised. | | | There are people who work hard for their money and earn it in a way that is believed to be ordinary and normal, though there are people who collect money in a different way. |

| | VAGRANCY IS ON THE RISE among young people everywhere who are slowly coming to the realization that housing is for fools and vagrancy is for the cool (and enlightened). | | | Many such laws were struck down as unconstitutionally vague, thus largely decriminalizing vagrancy, though in the 1990s many local laws were implemented to curtail aggressive panhandling, begging, and other activities by vagrants on city streets. | | | One also must take careful consideration not to confuse vagrancy with homelessness as the two are very different. |

| | People would be begging and then the police would arrive on the scene and the beggars would drag out the Big Issue and say, ‘Does anybody want to buy the Big Issue?’, and as soon as the police were gone they would put it back in their case and continue begging. | | | People there talked about how they worked closely with the social welfare agencies and that they were kind and loving and were looking after people rather than being tough. | | | They found also that more than half the people sleeping on the streets had a mental health problem; the vast majority of cases had alcohol problems; approximately one-third of the young people had drug problems; and in most cases there was a combination of drug and alcohol abuse. |

Although Mitchell readily admits that the number of homeless people and panhandlers on Toronto streets has skyrocketed, he argues that Boothby has entirely missed the mark in proposing a quick-fix solution for outdated vagrancy laws | | | Boothby's solution to this "problem" involves a proposal to re-implement federal vagrancy laws which were abolished over two decades ago. | | | The eradication of one fifth of income for poor people has been compounded by a barrage of cuts to other services such as affordable housing and rent control laws |

| | It also wants a review of the impact of recent legislation on the ability of homeless people to receive the help they need, saying that "legislation which criminalises street homelessness has echoes of the Vagrancy Acts and Poor Laws of the 1600s". | | | The delay in finding appropriate housing meant homeless people were "effectively 'bed-blocking' spaces in hostels for vulnerable homeless people still on the streets". | | | "A lot of the people left in streets are suffering from a whole range of issues, mental illness, addiction problems, and there is no concerted effort, no strategic plan to deal with that continuing problem," Mr Cochrane said. |

| | EMLS Dialogue One] Impostors, Monsters, and Spies: What Rogue Literature Can Tell us about Early Modern Subjectivity |
| | Vagrancy alone was enough, without other crimes: a statute of 1547 instituted a "three strikes and you're out" provision for vagrants; for a first offence, a vagabond was to be whipped and bored through the ear; a third offence merited death, and many were hanged under this statute. | | | For many people, identity was no longer comfortably tethered to a village, a trade, a niche in a well-established social hierarchy, and the psychic disturbances occasioned by this instability were, I argue, projected onto the most visibly untethered, vagrants. | | | Though sumptuary laws aimed to force people to dress so as to identify their social class, many successfully infiltrated a higher class through wearing fine clothes, changing their manners and their accents. |

| | Many people agree that homelessness is a problem; however, some feel that decriminalizing camping, loitering, panhandling and other crimes would create a less-safe environment where the homeless would be free to cause disturbances around town. | | | Despite her history of homelessness, Black would not repeal all laws associated with vagrancy; she said bad-behavior ordinances should remain: prohibitions against loitering, public urination and possessing open liquor bottles on streets and in parks. | | | He suggests housing people in areas such as Ft. Snelling, where they could more easily take public transit to the city for jobs but stay out of trouble with police because they would have a place to stay. |

| | An Appreciation of Robert Lenkiewicz, part 1 |
| | From Roberts early days in London, to recent years in Plymouth, he allowed his studio to be populated by a challenging cross section of heroin addicts, alcoholics and other damaged street people, all lost on varying planets, as they wrenched their lives and brains from bottle to bottle, fix to fix. | | | Lenkiewicz seemed not to want to save these people for God, or even to save these people from themselves, but simply to give a place to sleep away from some of the dangers– and be able to to commit the inevitable, drink themselves blind and paint the consequences. | | | One of the most poignant of Roberts projects are his works concerning vagrancy and alcoholism. |
