The Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to
Child Sexual Abuse has given national consciousness to the
problematic treatment of sexual assault in Australia's past. Yet we
still have little knowledge of the policing, prosecution and
punishment of sexual crimes in the past. Sex Crimes in the Fifties
examines this history by investigating Australia in the 1950s. The
1950s has remained a decade with a nostalgic reputation for
upholding the sanctity of the nuclear family. Fewer remember that
it was this same decade that saw the sharpest rise in Australian
history of arrests and prosecution of sexual assault and was the
origin of many of our contemporary beliefs about sexual crimes.
Using transcripts of 500 trials, Sex Crimes in the Fifties examine
the full range of sexual assaults that came before the court,
including rape, crimes against children, homosexuality and acts of
indecency, to consider the ways sexual crimes was policed and
treated, as well as the ways the wider public understood these
offences.
