The Turtles of Tasman: Told in the Drooling Ward http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/London/Writings/TurtlesTasman/ward.html The problem of mental deficiency This is the first full study of the great alarm about "mental defectives" in Britain between 1870 and 1959, and the resulting policies of segregation, community care, and sexual sterilization. Mathew Thomson examines the origins of these policies in central government and shows how they were put into practice by health professionals and local authorities. He reveals how policy-makers avoided extremist measures such as compulsory sterilization (introduced in Germany and parts of the US during this period), not for reasons of liberal principle but because of the socially conservative and anti-interventionlist nature of British political culture. http://books.google.ie/books?id=9rIsDsV_WPkC&pg=PA14Prostitution Here is the first comprehensive overview of the attempts to eradicate prostitution from English society, including discussion of early attempts at reform and prevention through the campaigns of the social purists. This indispensable book reveals: reformers attitudes towards prostitute and prostitution; daily life inside reform institutions; attempts at moral education; developments in moral health theories; influence of eugenics; and attempts at suppressing prostitution. "Prostitution"is an essential new addition to the study of prostitution in history, providing an up-to-date account of the social and political efforts to rid it from society. http://books.google.ie/books?id=2rdtBjWjxREC&pg=PA121Home : Oxford English Dictionary
