About this book
In the early 20th century, William Harbutt Dawson penned "The Vagrancy Problem," a compelling sociological treatise advocating for legislative action to address the rise of vagrancy and its impact on society. Delving into the issue of tramps, loafers, and unemployables, Dawson explores the necessity of implementing measures of restraint to tackle these social challenges head-on. The document presents a detailed study of Continental Detention Colonies and Labour Houses, offering unique insights into potential solutions for managing the vagrancy crisis. Ideal for scholars of sociology and history, as well as policymakers and civic activists interested in social welfare reform, this thought-provoking work sheds light on a pressing issue that continues to resonate today.
