Définition

  • Like homelessness more generally, begging is an ancient phenomenon associated with massive economic and population shifts caused by crop failures and famines, plagues, the aftermath of war and the demobilization of armies, the liberation of slaves, the reorganization of industrial or agricultural production—that is, with upheavals that dislocate people from customary economic roles and leave them destitute and desperate. In Western societies, beggars have long been perceived as threats to social order because they lived without settled livelihood, frequently wandered and thus turned up as unwanted strangers, and sometimes associated with bandits and thieves.
