研究显示,在白宫转向新战略时,将无家可归定为犯罪行为行不通。 Study shows criminalizing homelessness doesn't work, as White House shifts to new strategies.

一项新的研究表明,将无家可归定为犯罪并不能减少无家可归现象,对美国一些州惩罚睡在外面的人的政策提出了挑战。 A new study reveals that criminalizing homelessness does not reduce homelessness, challenging policies in some US states that penalize sleeping outside. 这份研究报告发表在《政策研究杂志》上,没有发现由于这类法律,无家可归现象没有减少,并建议需要采取其他办法。 The study, published in the Policy Studies Journal, found no reduction in homelessness due to such laws and suggests alternative approaches are needed. 与此同时,白宫正在从“住房第一”办法转向重点清除营地和将个人送入治疗,其中可能包括非自愿民事承诺。 Meanwhile, the White House is shifting from the 'housing first' approach to focus on removing encampments and placing individuals into treatment, potentially including involuntary civil commitment.
