I would never ever EVER give money to a begger. I understand it seems snobby of me but they just disgust me most of them. Obviously there are some really exceptional cases like if they are terribly ill or crippled or what not. I do realise how easy it is to land yourself in that sort of situation but imo, once you beg you've just given up trying. And not to generalise but naturally not all beggers are drunks or junkies but A LOT are, most the time thats the reason they're on the streets in the first place.

I don't think jailing them is the solution tho, regardless of my opinion I wouldnt consider it a crime.
