Move-On Orders and Homelessness w/ Dr Tim Welch

The Government’s move-on order legislation has given police greater powers to remove people from public spaces, including those begging or rough sleeping. Critics argue the bill risks criminalising homelessness rather than addressing its causes.

Producer Pranuja spoke with Dr Tim Welch about why he believes move-on orders punish poverty and what a more effective response to homelessness could look like.
