A deep look at how American vice policy moved from segregation to repression and reshaped law.

This study traces a long shift in public policy from toleration and spatial segregation of vice to a broad, enforceable regime of control. It links changes in public sentiment to concrete legal measures, showing how state laws, municipal ordinances, and official studies together formed a new approach. The work also situates these developments in the broader social and historical context, including the wartime period that accelerated reform.

Learn how eight key social hygiene laws spread across the United States and why they mattered.
See how public opinion shifted from toleration to repression and what that meant for cities, states, and districts.
Understand the role of major studies, vice reports, and wartime policy in shaping national law.
Discover how diagrams and historical timelines illustrate the evolution of vice control from 1890 onward.

Ideal for readers of social history, public policy, and the public health and reform movements of the early 20th century.
