自该学科成立之初，社会学家就将无家可归视为不平等和贫困的首要指标。社会学家越来越多地将无家可归者的监管和治安作为分析特定社会如何理解和互动那些存在于社会阶层底层的人的镜头。在这种知识背景下，本文追溯了无家可归者监管的最新发展，以及相应的学术尝试，以理解这一实证现象。这样做表明，绝大多数分析都狭隘地集中在警察的惩罚性和排他性功能上，结果往往忽视了围绕差异化功能、组织动态、空间偶然性和代理问题的问题。这篇文章使现有的方法复杂化，从而为更准确、更细致地呈现无家可归者的治安奠定了基础。
Since the earliest days of the discipline, sociologists have viewed homelessness as a premier index of inequality and poverty more generally. Sociologists have increasingly turned to the regulation and policing of homelessness as a lens for analyzing how a given society understands and interacts with those who exist at the bottom of the social hierarchy. Against this intellectual backdrop, this article traces recent developments in the policing of homelessness, as well as the corresponding academic attempts to make sense of this empirical phenomenon. Doing so demonstrates that a vast majority of analyses have focused narrowly on the punitive and exclusionary functions of policing and, as a result, have tended to overlook issues surrounding differentiated functions, organizational dynamics, spatial contingencies, and questions of agency. This article complicates existing approaches and thereby lays the foundation for a more accurate and nuanced rendering of the policing of homelessness.
