Homeless people found to commit crimes tactically to go to jail on purpose

Yeah basically that is what is happening in our society today. This is common especially in the surburbs, the rate of unemployment has left so many homeless and in the cause of this , the prison is the best resort . The prison is not an hotel and to get there a crime must be committed.

Unwanted sex has become a way out of homelessness for many. One in seven men and 28% of women had spent a night – or longer – with an unwanted sexual partner to "accommodate themselves".

My country Nigeria is typical example of this, you see unemployment has driven lots of girls to the street to survive. Most unprivileged ladies in my country are night walkers and workers and this is getting out of hand cause it seems a profitable business for them

Is commiting victimless crimes one of the only viable paths out of homelessness?

No this is a bad idea, though one is not to be blamed if that’s the only way out but engaging in illegal activities isn’t a way out either but what exactly is the way out?

Giving homes to the homeless is the only sustainable solution to prevent crime

Yeah I totally agree with you on this, you see in my own country , providing lost cost housings and employment would make the country a better place, my country.

Thank you for this amazing topic , bless your soul.
