This report documents the results of a research project that examines the relationship between the regulation of public space and the criminalization of homeless people in Vancouver. It focuses on 2 neighbourhoods mentioned, the West End and Commercial Drive, but its findings have relevance for the whole city and possibly beyond. One of the main goals of the Project is to understand the situation of homeless people in the street environment and other public spaces, where the homeless are compelled to live, and how that environment is shaped by their relations with police and other agents and systems of social control.
