Conclusion: The Legacies of Wolfenden. 330 $aThis critical sourcebook compiles excerpts from the extensive interviews undertaken by the Wolfenden Committee on the subject of prostitution. The Committee is remembered, first and foremost, for recommending the decriminalization of sex between men. However, the other half of its remit?prostitution?has largely been forgotten, despite the fact that prostitution, not homosexuality, was the original impetus behind the Committee?s appointment. If we consider the Committee and its Report from this perspective, its status as both a liberal and permissive endeavour must be called into question. This book captures the controversy, diversity and complexity of opinions surrounding prostitution in this period, and provides critical analysis and context. It restores the question of prostitution to its central place in the history of Britain?s so-called progressive era and challenges the way that the Report and its legacy have been characterized. Crucially, this book highlights the substantial evidence gathered by the Committee on prostitution outside of London, which the Wolfenden Report itself largely disregarded. The excerpts, the reprinted report, and the critical introductions to each chapter are intended to spark important debates amongst students, researchers and the public about the history of sexuality, society and the state in twentieth-century Britain. . 410 0$aGenders and Sexualities in History,$x2730-9487 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aSocial history 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aEthnology 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aSocial History 606 $aCultural History 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 14$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aSociocultural Anthropology. 676 $a306.740941 700 $aCaslin$b Samantha$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0894513 702 $aLaite$b Julia$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910416091703321 996 $aWolfenden's Women$91998321 997 $aUNINA
