A few decades ago a monograph on the legal aspects of population
control would have looked mainly at legal prohibitions. The salient
legal problems were restriction of the use of birth control and
dissemination of information about it. The assumption in such an
approach would have been that effective population control is
legally affected only by the clearly stated restrictions in the
law. In other respects, the law could be assumed to be neutral.
Judicial and legislative changes have eliminated practically all
restrictions on the means of contraception. This development, how
ever, has not freed population from its relation to the law; on the
contrary, it has exposed the importance of law as a motivating
force for and against population control. Although much applied
work in population control is directed toward the distribution of
contracep tives, concentration on the means of population control
has shown itself to be of doubtful value. From many sides the
primary impor tance of motivation has been recognized, along with
the need to influence motivation and to analyze the conditions
under which motivational change is possible. At this point the role
of the law ix X FOREWORD becomes apparent, along with the
recognition that law has not been neutral in this issue-that, in
fact, it cannot be neutral. Larry Barnett has undertaken a
pioneering effort in identifying the areas of law important to
changing people's motivations in regard to population control and
to a reduction in individual family size."
