The plight of Britain's homeless today is shown to be strikingly similar to that of the roving vagrant and vagabond of history. Through the centuries the number of rootless people has fluctuated wildly, with varying proportions of hardened petty criminal, social scrounger and bereft innocent. Official attitudes contributed to the portrayal of the indigent traveller as someone who consistently verged on criminality and was blameworthy for their own miserable condition. Over the centuries emergent laws persistently repressed the alleged threats of the unruly vagrant while largely ignoring causal factors like economic fluctuation, bad harvests, disease and war. Monitoring historical legislative change contributes to the debate concerning the disturbing inconsistency of there being so many homeless people existing on the fringe of modern democracies. Without this historical association of economic, social and political change, it is easy to ignore the past and seek simplistic explanations based entirely on current events.
