This text analyses attempts to eradicate prostitution from English
society, and includes a discussion of early attempts at reform and
prevention through to the campaigns of the social purists.
"Prostitution" looks in-depth at the various reform institutions
which were set up to house prostitutes, analysing the motives of
the reformers as well as daily life within these penitentiaries.
Attempts at prevention are revealed through close study of the
Ladies Association for the Care of Friendless Girls which tried to
educate society morally and campaigned for protective legislation
for prostitutes. This book reveals: reformers' attitudes towards
prostitutes and prostitution; daily life inside reform
institutions; attempts at moral education; developments in moral
health theories; influence of eugenics; attempts at suppressing
prostitution. It is a new addition to the study of prostitution in
history, providing the reader with an up-to-date account of the
social and political efforts to eradicate it from society.
