ficial on the whole, although in later years the practice has been largely abandoned and the prostitutes left without legal protection from the many vampires who prey upon them. This statement does not overlook the many laws designed to suppress and limit the so-called traffic. Not the least of the forces preying upon the prostitutes are the very police and vice squads presumed to be the means of suppression and punishment when in fact they are partners in the business through almost universal pay-off, blackmail, and sharing of profits, miscalled "protection."

On the whole the author avoids criticism and moralizing, but a few generalizations may be drawn from the account. Curiously the problems of heterosexual prostitution are very much the same along with their possible solutions as those of homosexuality. In all probability sex relations between consenting adults should not be subject to legal control, although

minors should be protected and enforced prostitution outlawed. Corrective measures should be taken to "rehabilitate the young girl who is inclined toward promiscuity," but "legal harassment, imprisonment, fines, and other penalties imposed upon prostitutes," (260) and those chiefly against the lower class prostitutes, merely aggravate the whole situation. Much more study (especially by impartial and unbiased students, such, for example, as the present authors) is

needed "to determine the factors which

lead girls to prostitution, coupled with studies why men visit prostitutes." (261)

For those not too familiar with introduction, both for its readability the subject the book is an excellent and for its objective character. Its wholesome attitude toward the subject represents a definite step forward in the literature of sex.
