Originally published in 1879, this groundbreaking legal treatise offers a comprehensive survey of the laws governing vice and morality in England and abroad. Drawing on extensive research and practical experience, author Sheldon Amos analyzes the historical, social, and legal factors that have shaped these laws, and offers a compelling argument for greater consistency and coordination in their enforcement. A Comparative Survey of Laws is an essential resource for legal scholars, social scientists, and policymakers alike.
