Prostitution: Prevention and Reform in England, 1860-1914 is the first comprehensive overview of attempts to eradicate prostitution from English society, including discussion of early attempts at reform and prevention through to the campaigns of the social purists.

* developments in moral health theories
* influence of eugenics
* attempts at suppressing prostitution.
