description Throughout the 1930s, the French government sought to protect young vagrants by dropping the penal charges against them and by focussing on the protection of minors.Child vagrancy which was an misidentified tort and regarded as a suspicion of other criminal acts, had eventually to be delt with humanely. The Decree-Law of 30 October 1935 marked a major step forward taking charge of thousands of teenagers who became homeless because of depressed industrial economy or because of family conflicts . Only minors who had committed a crime related to vagrancy were sentenced to jail. However on the ground, the Law of 1935 was inadequately implemented . Pre-trial detention was fairly regularly used by the Paris Police Headquarters because of lack of means. As their youth association educators did not hurry to pick them up at the police station, the minors remained in custody. Every day, police agents, police officers, prosecutors, judges had to face the shortsightedness of the French State.
