Homelessness is now a much greater problem than twenty years ago.
In Britain today around half a million homeless people form a
regrettable permanent 'underclass'. This study spells out their
similarities with the spurned vagrant of bygone days. It traces how
for centuries emergent laws have combated alleged threats from
unruly vagrants while largely ignoring causal factors like economic
fluctuation, bad harvests, disease and war. It is argued that only
educational and social reform will alleviate the homeless plight.
