Document Summary
Final exam sosc 1375: the dangerous poor is about a person or a group in society who leave in poverty. Aurelius said poverty is the mother of crime . This means that people who commit the crime are in poverty and that what motivates them to break the law. There is an old prejudice in society such as, the poor one a dangerous lot who will stop to criminality of given opportunity. The question that government has to consider is how we can contain, control or neutralize the danger this class of people represents. The law is still prejudice: urban space and citizenship. Laws regulating the use of space signify function of space and citizenship. Everything that surrounds us is purposely organized and made. Toronto paid architectures to redesign ttc benches at the bus stops because homeless people would sleep there. This looked bad but the government could not make such a law.
