A propos de cet article

London: HSMO, 1957. 155 pp. The Report that Led to the Decriminalization of Homosexuality [Wolfenden Report]. Report of the Committee on Homosexual Offences and Prostitution. Presented to Parliament by the Secretary of State for the Home Department and the Secretary of State for Scotland by Command of Her Majesty. London: Her Majesty's Stationary Office, 1957. 155 pp. Green printed wrappers, light fading, soiling and shelfwear. Internally clean.
