Social reformers emphasize the bad effect on society of vagrancy.
"Civics and Health"
William H. Allen
When he came here, twenty odd years ago, I tried to reclaim him, and went around with him; but he enjoyed vagrancy so much, and defended his position so well, that I took a taste of it myself.
"The Mystery of the Locks"
Edgar Watson Howe
My one best bet is to keep out of their way; and I figure I'm ten times safer on the open road, with a few dollars to stave off a vagrancy charge, and with two good fists and this stick to keep 'em at a distance, than I would be on the railroads or in cheap dumps along the way.
"The Air Trust"
George Allan England
