article 2: Homelessness


In his article "The Cruel and Unusual Criminalization of Homelessness: Factoring Individual Accountability into the Proportionality Principle" (2006), Elizabeth O’Connor asserts here in the US we have specific laws that are geared to monitor the acts for the homelessness. O’Connor supports her claims by involving the Eight Amendment prohibition on criminalizing statuses. Her purpose in writing this article is to how these specific laws are discriminatory in the matter of focusing on one specific group, which is all together morally wrong and discrimination. She seems to have a professional tone to provide her seriousness about the topic.
