should there be laws against begging in public places?why or why not.how to help these homeless people?

Answer 1

Begging and mendicancy are acts of vagrancy which is punishable under the Penal Law because it disturbs the peace of the community.

Answer 2

There are already laws to deal with begging. There is no will to enforce them. The public are also apathetic to beggars. The Indians cannot imagine going to temples etc without handing a few annas to the beggars. The professional beggars who are richer than an average temple goer is exploiting this sentiment.

Answer 3

There should be laws against begging in public places. Though the laws are existing, implementation is poor for several reasons known to all of us. It is better to help them through organized agencies and make the agency responsible if their members beg in public. Probably, controling this way, may be better.

Answer 4

Truth to tell I would love to help the 'legitimate' homeless by feeding, clothing, sheltering and offering comfort. However, I must do this thru homeless shelters because too many are homeless because they are child molesters, sexual offenders, violent person, people on the run from the law. This is really sad because it hurts the truly homeless due to really, really bad luck who most of us would sincerely like to help.

Sorry, I have no sympathy for the vile persons whose criminal lifestyle put them in the position they are in.

Answer 5

There should be laws against those begging people who are not physically challenged or ripe old people.. because these people have their responsibiity to stand on their own.. The government can send handicapped and old people to some old age homes or can give them a employment

Answer 6

If we didn't waste so much money on unnecessary wars, corporate welfare, tax cuts for the rich, dealing with the aftermath of bungled disaster relief efforts, building billion dollar jet bombers that can't find a terrorist hiding in a cave (instead of working on a building a global anti-terrorist network with our allies...what allies we have left anyway), and maintaining a huge nuclear arsenal over and above our necessary nuclear deterrent....there would be no homelessness. And we've have plenty of money for schools. And health care. And national parks. And libraries. Ya know...things that actually help our citizens?

Answer 8

No one should be allowed to beg. Those people are nasty and filthy and who knows if they're sick or not...I just want to be left alone by them. Who needs the guilt involved with turning someone down either...people get enough guilt inflicted on them by their family members.

The best way to help the homeless is to not help them. It's amazing how someone who's hungry can think of ways to help themselves if there are no handouts.

Answer 9

the main attitude of beggars is to earn money for their needs without doing work. moreover no system against beggars working properly. so they are lazy, they become lazy, because they beleive that nobody will control them. to avoid this strict and kind action should be taken. i can suggest the following system which is 100% foolproof, not only the beggars, it will control the entire community.

Answer 10

i dont think they should be begging but i do feel bad for those who truly just need some scrap food. I don't think it is as bad whent they sell things that they made for money unless they just go use the money on drugs
