The nineteenth century witnessed a discursive explosion around the subject of sex; behaviour which had always been punishable began to be spoken of, regulated, and policed in new ways. This book traces and examines approaches emerging throughout the century towards prostitution and looks at the apparatus and institutions created for its control.
