Beggars' and vagrants' in ottoman state policy and public disco / Ozbek, Nadir   Journal Article

Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract This study examines the changes in public discourse and state policy towards beggars and vagrants during the reign of Abd lhamid II (1876-1908) and the early years of the Second Constitutional Period (1908-1914). During the Hamidian period, although the educated public's concern and anxiety towards the idle poor increased, government action towards the urban poor remained limited. The constitutional regime of the post-1908 period provided the police with new legislative tools to control beggars and vagrants and the government launched a campaign against the urban idle poor. Despite these steps, however, the government fell short in its attempt at regulating the idle poor.
