Report From the Select Committee on the Contagious Diseases Acts (Classic Reprint): Together With the Proceedings of the Committee, Minutes of ... of Evidence, and Appendix (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
This book presents the findings of a parliamentary committee tasked with evaluating the effectiveness of the Contagious Diseases Acts of 1866-1869. The aim of these Acts was to reduce venereal disease in the military through the periodical medical examination of women living near military establishments. The author, a physician and member of the committee, investigated the hygienic efficacy of the Acts and concluded that they had failed in their stated aim. The author claims that the Acts encouraged sexual indulgence, which led to increased incidence of disease rather than a mitigation. The author draws on his own research as well as evidence given by military medical professionals, such as Dr. Nevins and Surgeon-Major Lawson. The book also explores the negative social impact of the Acts. The author articulates opposition to the idea of State-regulated prostitution and points to evidence supporting the idea that the Acts resulted in an increase of clandestine prostitution, which was less subject to regulation. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the Contagious Diseases Acts.
