Taiwan The Qing government wrestled with its Taiwan policy to reduce piracy and vagrancy in the area, which led to a series of edicts to manage immigration and respect aboriginal land rights. Following the defeat of Cheng's grandson to an armada led by Admiral Shi Lang, Cheng's followers were expatriated to the furthest reaches of the Qing empire leaving approximately 7000 Chinese on Taiwan. Illegal immigrants continued to enter Taiwan as renters of the large plots aboriginal lands under contracts that usually involved marriage, while the border between tax paying lands and "savage" lands expanded east. united-states.asinah.net /american-encyclopedia/wikipedia/t/ta/taiwan.html

Literary Encyclopedia: Beckett, Samuel Once the accretions of class, nationality, education, gender and culture have been stripped away by the technical art of “indigence”, and the poetry of a physical and psychical vagrancy, the remaining consciousness recorded by Beckett’s texts is left with the capacity of unconditioned witnessing. In part owing to these qualities, his work appears to have survived and transcended all attempts to categorise it or assimilate it into traditions such as Existentialism, Modernism, or the Absurdist movements with which Beckett was provisionally associated in the sixties and seventies. www.literaryencyclopedia.com /php/speople.php?rec=true&UID=5161

VAGRANCY VAGRANCY IS ON THE RISE among young people everywhere who are slowly coming to the realization that housing is for fools and vagrancy is for the cool (and enlightened). Many such laws were struck down as unconstitutionally vague, thus largely decriminalizing vagrancy, though in the 1990s many local laws were implemented to curtail aggressive panhandling, begging, and other activities by vagrants on city streets. One also must take careful consideration not to confuse vagrancy with homelessness as the two are very different. www.geocities.com /polarpugpuff/vagrant_youth.html

Inquiry into the Vagrancy Act 1966 - Discussion Paper - Table of Proposals and Recommendations As a consequence of some offences under the Vagrancy Act 1966 being transferred to the Summary Offences Act 1966 in accordance with the recommendations of the Committee, the Committee considered that a similar provision could be introduced in the Summary Offences Act 1966. Where this Committee has recommended that a provision of the Vagrancy Act 1966 should be retained and shifted to a new Act, a new reference provision may need to be enacted in the relevant Act. If any provisions of the Vagrancy Act 1966 are retained or shifted to another Act, then relevant definitions may also need to be retained or shifted to the relevant Act. www.parliament.vic.gov.au /sarc/Vagrancy/table.htm

vagrancy on Encyclopedia.com State laws and municipal ordinances punishing vagrancy often also cover loitering, associating with reputed criminals, prostitution, and drunkenness. U.S. vagrancy laws generally punish the status of being a vagrant and not some overt act. Bibliography: See C.

Begging and vagrancy As a result, crime and vagrancy became a great concern of the state. Poor harvests combined with outbreaks of the plague and influenza caused agricultural prices to climb while wages dropped to a level not seen for three hundred and forty years. The beginning of Elizabeth's reign was favored by a largely healthy economy, but by the last decade of her reign the economy declined. web.uvic.ca /shakespeare/Library/SLT/society/begging.html

Prohibition and policing in New South Wales, 1908-78 [in: Working girls : prostitutes, their life and social control] From 1920 the category "female vagrancy" almost exclusively dealt with the law on soliciting, while other vagrant categories were listed under a category of "idle persons". Under the Vagrancy Act it was now an offence to "loiter for the purpose of prostitution" (s 4[1][k]), or for a "known prostitute" to be on, or simply suspected of being on, "premises habitually used for the purpose of prostitution or of soliciting for prostitution" (s 8BA). "Soliciting" was not listed in 1915, and from 1919 it was included in general female "vagrancy". www.aic.gov.au /publications/lcj/working/ch2-4.html

Focuses especially on findings of Home Office Working Party on Vagrancy and Street Offences, which recommended that rather than being abolished completely, offences under consideration should be replaced by new and more restricted offences. www.bopcris.ac.uk /bop1974/ref4678.html

Romanticism On the Net 22 (May 2002) Romanticism on the Road is not the first history of vagrancy in eighteenth-century England (Benis, for example, quotes Ribton-Turner's 1887 treatise several times) nor is it the only study to examine Wordsworth in light of this history (see, for example, Gary Harrison, 1994 and David Simpson, 1987). Just as his finest and most complex example of vagrancy, the old leach gatherer of "Resolution and Independence," begs for proof of his own innocence, Wordsworth seeks an expanded, more tolerant definition for another category of suspect persons, poets. The Prelude illustrates the failure of this effort; in his autobiographical poem, Wordsworth attempts to make his earlier, equivocal views on vagrancy coincide with his later social conformity and ideological complacency. www.erudit.org /revue/ron/2001/v/n22/005971ar.html

BCCLA Position Paper: Vagrancy, 1971 Section 164 of the Criminal Code defines five kinds of vagrancy and makes each a summary convictions offence carrying a maximum penalty of six months imprisonment and $500 fine. One of the modifications involved adding an exception to clause a whereby no aged or infirm person without apparent means of support who wanders abroad or trespasses and does not justify his or her presence on demand can be found guilty of vagrancy. In a major revision of the Criminal Code made in the early 1950s, the previous vagrancy sections were modified considerably. www.bccla.org /positions/privateoff/71vagrancy.html

Petrillo, 332 U.S. The poor among us, the minorities, the average house-holder are not in business and not alerted to the regulatory [405 U.S. 163] schemes of vagrancy laws; and we assume they would have no understanding of their meaning and impact if they read them.

Romanticism On the Net 4 (November 1996) The vagrancy of the Discharged Soldier is interpreted as a symptom of the circulation of capital and expansion of empire which necessitated charitable assists from the nation for the aged and the poor. Romantic vagrancy is thus read as a political phenomenon in the literary text.

The Beaver: This Issue's Feature Article Ultimately, as David Bright remarks, prostitution and vagrancy in 1917 were "crimes of status." It was not necessary to prove a specific incident in court; it was enough to have simply demonstrated that the accused led a certain type of life. When Alice Jamieson sentenced Cyr to six months jail for vagrancy, Cameron appealed the ruling on the novel basis that Jamieson, as a woman, was legally "incompetent and incapable" of holding such an appointment. The harshest sentence she served was for the former vagrancy charge: sixty days hard labour. www.historysociety.ca /bea.asp?subsection=fea

Historical Content After vagrancy laws were abolished, the police used the equally vague loitering laws to harass people who did not account for themselves to the police's satisfaction when approached. Also comparable is the motivation for the two types of laws: local vagrancy laws often forced newly arrived poor people out of the city, so the city would not have to address their needs. In 1960, every state had a vagrancy statute, except West Virginia, which made vagrancy an offense at common law. www.sf-homeless-coalition.org /797historical.html

Jim Crow Guide To the USA - CHAPTER 9 In practice, however, this seeming anomaly does not work a double hardship on the great majority of fair-skinned Americans, inasmuch as the vagrancy laws are enforced mainly against dark skinned Americans -Negroes, Mexican Americans American Indians, gypsies, and 1 others. In most states the penalty for persons convicted of vagrancy is a fine ranging from 50 to 100 dollars, and/or a 30-day sentence, usually on a public work gang. The crime of vagrancy is regarded as a continuing one, which you can be sent to jail over and over again on the same charge, just as long as you remain broke and unemployed. www.stetsonkennedy.com /jim_crow_guide/chapter9_1.htm
