ABSTRACTViolence against female vagrants involved acts committed by men on street prostitutes and between women. Montreal court and police records provide glimpses into the public spaces of the city where these women worked, socialized, and lived. This terrain was dangerous. Vagrant women fended for themselves in a hostile environment where they were accosted by or participated in a range of violent acts from insults to murder. They used an array of manoeuvres to reduce danger and to redress violent confrontations by turning to the criminal justice system to resolve conflicts and to prosecute perpetrators of aggressive acts. They were seldom successful in their pursuit of justice given their disreputable reputation.
