Incorrigible rogues can sleep safely at night

Incorrigible rogues can sleep safely at night - it is no longer a criminal offence to be one in England and Wales.

"Being an incorrigible rogue", under the Vagrancy Act 1824, is one of 309 offences to be repealed and removed from the statute book in the year to May. This is compared to 201 offences repealed in the previous 12 month period.
