Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Regulation of Commercialized Vice: An Analysis of the Transition From Segregation to Repression in the United States In the past generation public opinion in the United States has undergone an important change in its attitude towards vice control. Following earlier unsuccessful attempts between 1870 and 1900 in New York, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cincinnati, Baltimore and other cities to regulate or legalize prostitution, most American municipalities had settled down to a policy of confining the social evil within certain more or less clearly defined red-light districts.- Under then existing municipal ordinances and state laws the keepers and inmates of bawdy houses were subjected to a nominal fine or imprisonment, which measures, however, were in the main enforced only outside of the district. On the one hand, no effective measures had yet been framed to curtail the efforts of those who were continually recruiting new victims for the brothel nor to permanently close bawdy houses themselves. On the other hand, the general sentiment was to the effect that the complete repression of vice was neither possible nor desirable. Today the situation is quite different, and a far-reaching policy of repression is in force the country over. When asked about this metamorphosis, students of the subject have invariably answered that the change has been from an attitude of toleration to one of repression; but such general observations often tend to obscure more than they clarify, as is evidenced by the feeling of the average man that if public opinion can change from toleration to repression it can just as easily change back again from repression to toleration.
