In this lively social history, first published in 1988, Lionel Rose
explores in detail the plight of the street poor between 1815 and
1985. He describes the Victorian 'Rogues and Vagabonds' who made
elicit peddling, begging frauds and other petty crime their
profession. He considers the relevant legislation and systems for
coping with the street poor, from the 1824 Vagrancy Act and
accompanying improvements in policing, through the casual ward
systems of the workhouses and the role of common lodging houses, to
the development of Social Services in the 1940s and local authority
provision of accommodation. This title will be of interest to
students of history, criminology and sociology.
