Sanger "Prostitution in Hamburg"

Sanger addresses the problem and "necessary evil" that prostitution is in Hamburg

Addresses the necessity of such evils like prostitution but needs strict regulation
  • "prostitution is a necessary evil, and, as such, must be endured under strict supervision"
  • necessity is based on the "uncontrollable nature of sexual intercourse"
"Sufferance of brothels is necessary"
  • "for the repression of profligacy, of private prostitution as well as of its kindred crimes"
  • suppression of private prostitution
  • public policy on regards to health
  • spread of infectious STD's
  • supression of prostitution is ABSOLUTELY IMPRACTICABLE!!!!!!
Examples of the vice
  • "public women" are under police authority
  • tax on prostitution
  • Food in brothels and treatment of women is good
  • Intellectually, the yare no different - useless
  • Their "ordinary routine of life is one of useless idleness"
Religion has influence over some prostitutes
"their crimes and ofenses include the ordinary category, but it is asserted that theft is less common in hamburg than elsewhere"

Prostitutes are examined medically and prostitution is regulated throug hthis way
  • resgistered women are kept under strict eye by the police
