Criminalisation Quotes

“Homelessness is illegal. In my city no one is homeless although there are an increasing number of criminals living on the street.

― Jeanette Winterson, Art and Lies

“Criminalising dissent is one conspicuous sign of a failed state.”
― Andrew Chatora, Inside Harare Alcatraz and Other Short Stories
