BRITAIN IN THE SIXTIES : VAGRANCY
The book is a compelling examination of homelessness and vagrancy in post-war Britain. Drawing from his own experiences of tramping across England in the 1930s, O'Connor offers a unique perspective on the lives of society's marginalized individuals.? The book delves into the societal attitudes and legal frameworks that contributed to the marginalization of vagrants. O'Connor presents the argument that society, perhaps unconsciously, relies on the existence of vagrants. . . labeling them as misfits who are deemed irredeemable, thereby justifying minimal societal investment in their welfare
