A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This Manual contains the Federal, State and local laws relating to sex morality in so far as they apply in the City of New York. It is intended primarily for the social worker, and the endeavor throughout has been to state the law in such a way that it can be readily understood and used by persons without legal training. It is hoped that the assembling under one cover of a body of law which is scattered throughout numberless statutes and decisions may be helpful also to lawyers and magistrates. The primary purpose, however, has never been lost sight of in its compilation; the Manual does not profess, nor indeed aim, to be a complete compendium, and everything has been rigidly, excluded that does not bear more or less directly on the laws relating to the contributing causes and suppression of prostitution, the care of its victims, and the punishment of those persons who foster or benefit by its existence. Some of the topics treated may perhaps seem remote from the principal subject, but experience in allied work justifies the belief that nothing has been included which is not material, and it is hoped that the desire to keep the Manual within the limits of a hand-book has resulted in no serious omissions. The work is divided into six chapters. The first deals with the definition and punishment of sex offenses. The second chapter concerns itself principally with the laws regulating some of the social agencies that serve as recruiting stations for vice, such as dance halls and employment agencies; with weaknesses and diseases that are intimately connected with prostitution, such as intoxication, the drug habit, and venereal diseases; and with the laws and regulations relating to birth and marriage.
