The Great Rise . . . and Then the Great Fall: Toronto Police Service's Enforcement of the Ontario Safe Streets Act , 2000–2022
Le présent article repose sur une analyse des statistiques secondaires obtenues auprès du service de police de Toronto (SPT) et du bureau du procureur général de l'Ontario relativement à la Loi sur la sécurité dans les rues de l'Ontario (LSRO). La loi, entrée en vigueur en 2000, ciblait la mendicité agressive, la sollicitation d'un auditoire captif et la disposition non sécuritaire des préservatifs et des aiguilles usagés, ainsi que du verre bris…
Child protection services and youth experiencing homelessness: Findings of the 2019 national youth homelessness survey in Canada
Youth homelessness and self identity: A view from Canada
This paper is based on the analysis of data collected from the National Canadian Homeless Youth Survey and addresses the question: why do some youth who received support from social service agencies that cater to the needs of homeless youth self-identify as being homeless while others do not? According to self-report survey data obtained from 1103 young people from over 50 youth homeless service centres from across Canada, findings show that yout…
Homelessness, Gender and Subsistence: The Case of Toronto Street Youth
Research on employment segregation and women's lower earnings has predominantly focused on labour‐market participants. Marginal groups such as the homeless have therefore been excluded from theory and research on work‐related gender segregation. In order to fill this void, this paper explores how income creation among homeless youth from Toronto, Canada varies according to gender. Based on questionnaire and interview data our results show that, i…
Making Money: Exploring the Economy of Young Homeless Workers
Three hundred and sixty homeless youth in Toronto, Canada were asked to report how they made money in order to survive. Income generation among this marginal population was conceptualized by fusing theory and research in the fields of the informal economy and the 'underclass', and sociological criminology. While economic activity was found to be flexible, our analysis also reveals that work on the street is stratified on the basis of worker backg…
Whatever Happened to Yesterday's Rebels? Longitudinal Effects of Youth Delinquency on Education and Employment
This paper examines whether and how teen delinquency is consequential for a variety of educational and employment outcomes. From the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth we measure five forms of delinquency from 1979 when respondents were 14-17 years old, and investigate whether they predict five different outcomes when those individuals were aged 25-30. We measure delinquency as the prevalence of skipping school, drug use, violent behavior, eng…
Mean Streets: Youth Crime and Homelessness
Immanence Changes Everything: A Critical Comment on the Labour Process and Class Consciousness
This paper discusses a number of problems with labour process accounts of worker subjectivity. They are manifested as ambiguities about the meaning of worker behaviour, and have their origins in conflicting ideological requirements of Marxism and assumptions of immanence. We argue that it is these theoretical precepts, rather than cumulating empirical knowledge, which have driven debates on the labour process and interpretations of behaviour in t…
