Abstract
The article discusses the issue of regulation vagabond life in the first decade of the Czechoslovak Republic. After the Czechoslovak Republic was constituted, its citizens and self-governing bodies requested that the state institutions restrict the vagrant life particularly of Gypsies.
In the first years of the existence of the state, the Ministry of the Interior, through the local police, applied the laws from the monarchy to control and penalize vagrants who were unable to prove the legal way of obtaining their living subsistence. Since 1922 and 1923 the records of Gypsies were collected.
