Wrong And Right Methods Of Dealing With Social Evil: As Shown By English Parliamentary Evidence is a book written by Elizabeth Blackwell and published in 1883. The book discusses the issue of social evil, which was a term used in the Victorian era to refer to prostitution, alcoholism, and other forms of immoral behavior. The book is based on evidence presented to the English Parliament regarding the regulation of prostitution. Blackwell argues that the current approach of criminalizing prostitution and punishing sex workers is not effective in addressing the root causes of the problem. Instead, she advocates for a more compassionate and pragmatic approach that focuses on improving the social and economic conditions that lead women to engage in prostitution.Throughout the book, Blackwell presents a detailed analysis of the various methods that have been used to address social evil, including the Contagious Diseases Acts, which allowed for the forced medical examination of prostitutes, and the Rescue and Reformatory Movement, which aimed to rehabilitate sex workers. She also discusses the role of religion, education, and social reform in addressing the issue.Overall, Wrong And Right Methods Of Dealing With Social Evil is a thought-provoking and informative book that sheds light on a complex and controversial issue. It provides valuable insights into the history of social reform and the challenges that continue to face society today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
