About: Ugly law

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Between 1867 and 1974, various cities of the United States had unsightly beggar ordinances, in retrospect also dubbed ugly laws. These laws targeted poor people and disabled people. For instance, in San Francisco a law of 1867 deemed it illegal for "any person, who is diseased, maimed, mutilated or deformed in any way, so as to be an unsightly or disgusting object, to expose himself or herself to public view." Exceptions to public exposure were acceptable only if the people were subjects of demonstration, to illustrate the separation of disabled from nondisabled and their need for reformation.

  • Between 1867 and 1974, various cities of the United States had unsightly beggar ordinances, in retrospect also dubbed ugly laws. These laws targeted poor people and disabled people. For instance, in San Francisco a law of 1867 deemed it illegal for "any person, who is diseased, maimed, mutilated or deformed in any way, so as to be an unsightly or disgusting object, to expose himself or herself to public view." Exceptions to public exposure were acceptable only if the people were subjects of demonstration, to illustrate the separation of disabled from nondisabled and their need for reformation. The Charity Organization Society suggested that the best charity relief would be to investigate and counsel the people needing assistance instead of provide them with material relief. This created conflict in people between their desire to be good Christians and good citizens when seeing people in need of assistance. It was suggested that the beggars imposed guilt upon people in this way. "Pauperism is a disease upon the community, a sore upon the body politic, and being a disease, it must be, as far as possible, removed, and the curative purpose must be behind all our thought and effort for the pauper class." Similar to what Slocum said, other authors suggested that giving charity to beggars without knowing what was to be done with the funds, was as "culpable as one who fires a gun into a crowd". The term "ugly laws" was coined in the mid-1970s by detractors Marcia Pearce Burgdorf and Robert Burgdorf, Jr. (en)
  • Entre 1867 e 1974, várias cidades dos Estados Unidos tiveram decretos de mendigos feios, em retrospecto também apelidados de leis feias. Essas leis visavam pessoas pobres e pessoas com deficiência. Exceções à exposição pública eram aceitáveis ​​apenas se as pessoas fossem objetos de demonstração, para ilustrar a separação de deficientes de não deficientes e sua necessidade de reforma. A Charity Organization Society sugeriu que a melhor ajuda de caridade seria investigar e aconselhar as pessoas que precisam de assistência em vez de fornecer ajuda material. Isso criou conflito nas pessoas entre o desejo de ser bons cristãos e bons cidadãos ao ver pessoas necessitadas de assistência. Sugeriu-se que os mendigos impunham culpa às pessoas dessa maneira. "O pauperismo é uma doença para a comunidade, uma chaga para o corpo político, e sendo uma doença, deve ser, na medida do possível, removido, e o propósito curativo deve estar por trás de todo o nosso pensamento e esforço para a classe dos mendigos." Semelhante ao que disse Slocum, outros autores sugeriram que dar caridade a mendigos sem saber o que deveria ser feito com os fundos era tão "culpável quanto quem atira uma arma na multidão". O termo "leis feias" foi cunhado em meados da década de 1970 pelos detratores Marcia Pearce Burgdorf e Robert Burgdorf, Jr. (pt)
