Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: NEW. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex and multifaceted phenomenon of vagrancy, examining the individual and societal factors that contribute to its prevalence. The author, a respected sociologist of the early 20th century, draws on extensive research and first-hand accounts to provide a comprehensive analysis of the subject. The book delves into the moral, temperamental, mental, and physical characteristics of vagrants, seeking to understand the root causes of their homelessness. It sheds light on the role of alcohol abuse, drug addiction, gambling, and other vices in driving individuals into vagrancy. The author also examines the social conditions that perpetuate vagrancy, such as lack of economic opportunities, inadequate education, and family dysfunction. Through a series of compelling case studies, the book highlights the human toll of vagrancy, revealing the struggles, despair, and resilience of those who live on the fringes of society. It challenges prevailing stereotypes and prejudices about vagrants, arguing that they are often victims of circumstance rather than simply lazy or immoral individuals. By combining rigorous scholarship with empathy and compassion, this book offers a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of a persistent social problem. It provides valuable insights for policymakers, social workers, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of vagrancy and promoting effective solutions.
