==== Vagrancy ==== A [[vagrancy (people)|vagrant]] is derogatory term for a person in a situation of [[poverty]], who wanders from place to place without a [[home]] or regular [[employment]] or [[income]]. Many [[town]]s in the [[developed world]] have [[Homeless shelter|shelters]] for vagrants. Common terminology is a tramp or a 'gentleman of the road'. Laws against vagrancy in the [[United States]] have partly been invalidated as violative of the [[due process]] clauses of the [[Constitution of the United States|U.S. Constitution]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/vagrancy|title=Vagrancy|website=LII / Legal Information Institute|access-date=2017-06-27|archive-date=2021-12-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211202185505/https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/vagrancy|url-status=live}}</ref> However, the FBI report on crime in the United States for 2005 lists 24,359 vagrancy violations.<ref>Table 43 β Crime in the United States 2005 http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/05cius/data/table_43.html {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210922092034/http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/05cius/data/table_43.html |date=2021-09-22 }}</ref>
