What is vagrancy meaning?

Vagrancy refers to the state of being homeless, without a regular residence or means of support. It is generally associated with poverty, destitution, and unemployment. Vagrants, or homeless people, often wander from place to place in search of food, shelter, and work. They may beg, sleep on the streets, or engage in petty crimes to survive. Vagrancy laws were common in many countries, making it illegal to be without visible means of support. However, such laws have since been challenged and, in some cases, abolished because they often targeted the poor and homeless, rather than addressing the root causes of homelessness and poverty.
