I rarely give
money to beggars.
Through their
welfare system, most rich states help those with housing, health and education
problems. Beside government handouts,
various organisations assist the destitute. Like Outreach UK which says in its
website that, “most people who beg have
accommodation. Outreach workers can help those who do not access a hostel
bed...”
Recent
statistics by the English Metropolitan police claim at least 70 to 80 percent
of beggars tested positive to Class A drugs, i.e. cocaine and heroin. Another
social research document confirms that when you give money to those hanging out
asking for help on street pavements, they purchase drugs and alcohol.
