Excerpt from Social Hygiene, Vol. 1
Next, the Association should study the various sorts of police action against vice, and the various statutes intended to regulate vicious resorts, to confine them within fixed limits, or to make less public and open the allurements to vice. It is now clearly known that all the preceding police attempts to regulate vice, to prevent the spread of the venereal diseases, and to diminish immorality have completely failed alike in the East and the West, in Europe and in the Americas. To exhibit and to pub lish this record of the total failure of well-meant police measures must be one of the first labors of the new Association.
