在住房和福利政策中使用社会控制干预措施常常引起激烈的争议,尤其是当试图改变街头无家可归者的行为时。迄今为止,学术审查的重点是对占用公共空间的露宿者进行所谓的监管或刑事定罪,但目前无家可归者支持服务中也存在一系列较软的控制机制。本文阐述了该领域使用的不同社会控制形式(武力、强制、讨价还价、影响力和宽容)之间的关系,并比较了政策制定者、一线从业者和无家可归者对于在英格兰部署的适当性的观点。它强调,每一种社会控制模式的使用,以及实际上缺乏这种控制,都会引发道德和实践困境,而其细微差别在学术报告中往往没有得到承认。
The use of social control' interventions in housing and welfare policy often courts intense controversy, and never more so than when attempts are made to bring about change in the conduct of street homeless people. To date, academic scrutiny has focused on the so-called regulation' or criminalisation' of rough sleepers occupying public space, but a range of softer' control mechanisms are also now in evidence within homelessness support services. This paper explicates the relationship between the distinct forms of social control that have been used in this field - force, coercion, bargaining, influence and tolerance - and compares the perspectives of policy makers, frontline practitioners and homeless people regarding the appropriateness of their deployment in England. It emphasizes that the use of every one of these modes of social control, and indeed the absence of such controls, raises moral and practical dilemmas, the nuance of which is often unacknowledged in academic accounts.
