  • Policy for Panhandling: How to Encourage Good Panhandling and Discourage Bad Gwendolyn Dordick, Brendan O’Flaherty, Jakob Brounstein and Srishti Sinha
    Think Piece 67 Policy for Panhandling: How to Encourage Good Panhandling and Discourage Bad Gwendolyn Dordick, Brendan O’Flaherty, Jakob Brounstein and Srishti Sinha City College, New York, New York Columbia University, New York, New York University of California at Berkeley and Columbia University, New York Columbia University, New York, New York \ Abstract_What does wise public policy toward panhandling look like? When a willing, reasonably well informed donor gives money to a panhandler, both are better off, and inequality goes down. Policy should encourage transactions like this. When a pedestrian is upset by a panhandler’s presence, does not give, and maybe even alters course, no one is better off and at least one person is worse off. Policy should discourage this kind of interaction. We examine an array of programs to deal with panhandling to see how well they encourage welfare-improving interactions and discourage welfare-reducing ones. Tentatively, credentialing programs are the most promising. \ Keywords_Panhandling, begging, panhandling policy, donor behaviour ISSN 2030-2762 / ISSN 2030-3106 online 68 European Journal of Homelessness _ Volume 12, No. 1, June 2018 Introduction Some people hate panhandlers. In The Mahabharata (book 13, section LX) Bhishma said: “Those persons who solicit others are said to annoy the world like thieves and robbers.” Some people love them. Peter Maurin (n.d.) wrote: “People who are in need and not afraid to beg give people not in need the occasion to do good for goodness’ sake.” Many jurisdictions try to regulate panhandlers (some to extirpate them), and, not surprisingly, these regulations are often controversial.

  • The Big Issue:' Empowering Homeless Women Through Academic Research?
    Area (1 999) 31.3, 239-246 The Big Issue:’ empowering homeless women through academic research? Lisa Doyle Department of Geography, University of Reading, Whiteknights, Reading RG6 6AB. Email: [email protected] Revised manuscript received 14 May 1999. Summary This paper discusses academic research as a means of empowerment for people in marginalizedgroups, using the example of homeless women. Issues connected to the position of the researcher in relation to both the agencies dealing with homeless people and the homeless women themselves are discussed. Many agencies have underlying ideologies and overt practices that reinforce hierarchical relations and certain gendered expectations. The paper considers the difficulties this creates when working with and presenting findings to agencies whose princip/es ate in conflict with one‘s own, and also discusses the social relations of conducting empowering doctoral research.

  • Background Research
    Background Research For the seven weeks prior to arriving in Cape Town, our team conducted background research on topics that would be crucial to our project. The aim of this research was to provide our team with a strong foundation in the range of relevant topics we would encounter once beginning our project. We wanted to be prepared for the multiple directions this project could take once arriving in Cape Town. Our team began our preparation by familiarizing ourselves with the structure and management of street papers. Then we researched interviewing tips and how to best gather information from people. Finally we explored empowering and participatory methods for sharing stories, which included Participatory Video and PhotoVoice. Follow the links above to read more about our !research we conducted on each theme. Street Papers Introduction – What are Street Papers? ! Street papers are newspapers or magazines that are published to be sold by homeless, unemployed, and/or socially marginalized individuals giving them employment opportunities that allow them to take charge of their own lives and advance their careers. The street paper model is self-help driven; vendors essentially become their own bosses by being micro- entrepreneurs who are responsible for their own successes. In this model, vendors buy the newspapers or magazines from their local street paper at half the cover price then sell the paper on the street at full price keeping anything they make. Street papers programs are popular among both developing and developed countries alike. The publications cover mainly topics surrounding homelessness and poverty in the local street papers respective area.
