Definición
- During the second half of the nineteenth century, shelter for the homeless in such cities as New York, Chicago, and Boston was a jumble of makeshift arrangements: evangelical missions, professional charity lodges, seamen's “snug harbors,” and, above all, police stations. The latter, an interesting example of the social welfare functions of urban police forces at that time, had steadily descended into notoriety.
