Description

[This article examines the 'problem ' of begging and the public interest and value in responding to that problem. Informed by the nature, extent and causes of begging and the interests, values and views of people who beg, it discusses a range of legal and public policy initiatives, both domestic and international, designed to respond to begging. The article concludes that begging is a complex and multifaceted problem that is most often caused by multiple and interrelated individual and structural deprivations. There are clear associations between begging, homelessness, poverty, mental illness and drug dependency and inadequate access to housing, income support and health care services. If the public interest in responding to the 'problem' of begging is to be addressed, street-level public policy responses and interventions that are flexible, responsive, individualised and holistic need to be joined up and implemented with legal and structural socioeconomic reforms in the areas of housing, health, income support and social inclusion.] CONTENTS
