Attitudes to Homeless and Destitute Men with Particular Reference to Provision of Accommodation in Melbourne in the 1880's and 1890's
A study of public attitudes to homeless and destitute men over a twenty year period which includes the 1890s depression. Seven institutions set up during this period in inner-city Melbourne were selected as case studies, including John Singleton's Blue Bell Shelter in Collingwood, and John Webb's Richmond Ragged School Night Shelter. In fact, little detail is provided about any of the institutions, and there is little illumination shed on the way of life of the subject group, contrary to the aims articulated in the introduction. The lack of a conclusion mars the paper. U'ren demonstrates that, apart from the emphasis of the organisation upon "sin" versus "moral laxity", the attitudes towards the destitute by professional charity workers were relatively uniform. Even during the depression period, the distinction was maintained between the "deserving" and the "undeserving" poor; these unfortunates were to be either uplifted or contained. The root of the problem was sought in the individual rather than the social structure.
