Justice in the Streets? Responses to Public Homelessness and Public Dissent

该项目的重点是城市街道的法律和社会监管，包括对越来越多的澳大利亚人经历公共无家可归或参与公共抗议的影响。典型的法律和政策对策倾向于定罪、排斥和监视；对受影响个人的后果包括加剧社会分层和处于不利地位，以及卷入刑事司法系统的风险。该项目审查关于公共无家可归和公众抗议的法律、社会和市政战略，并调查其对受影响个人和群体的影响。预期的好处包括如何改革法律和政策，以实现城市街道的“空间正义”。

This project focuses on legal and social regulation of city streets, including the impact on the increasing numbers of Australians experiencing public homelessness or engaging in public protest. Typical legal and policy responses tend towards criminalisation, exclusion and surveillance; the consequences for affected individuals include intensified social stratification and disadvantage along with risks of involvement in the criminal justice system. This project examines legal, social and municipal strategies regarding public homelessness and public protest and investigates their impact on individuals and groups affected. Expected benefits include proposals for ways of reforming law and policy to achieve ‘spatial justice’ in city streets.
