US homelessness: Is sleeping in public a crime?
Manage episode 414543635 series 3533342
Homelessness in the United States is at its highest level on record. It’s a topic which is presenting challenges for liberal and conservative politicians alike, and this week the nation’s Supreme Court convened to hear its most significant case on homelessness in decades. Why? It could allow cities across the country to effectively make being homeless illegal.
On today’s episode, Adam Fleming speaks to the BBC’s Samantha Granville who is reporting from LA – where almost a third of the US homeless population resides. We hear how people sleeping on the streets there feel about facing criminal punishment, and consider the political significance of this case in a presidential year.
