Answer 2

The correct answer is B.

Vagrancy happens when a seemingly homeless person wanders from one place to another without a purpose. Vagrants usually live in poverty and support themselves by begging, temporary work, theft, garbage scrapping, collecting waste and sometimes welfare.

The word vagrant derives from Latin vagari which means 'wander'.

Vagrancy is a crime against public order ( together with disorderly conduct ).

These are usually trivial types of public misconduct with a relatively low-level punishment. Public order offenses include among many others : public drinking, loitering, aggressive begging in the streets.

A known fact is the discretion of the police while acting against public order offences. Such laws are often not even formally enforced. The offenders are told to put an end to their activities without any further actions. It is done because of the human touch factor here - the offenders are often victims of unfairness and injustice in the society.
