Description

When Sir Humphrey Appleby warned his Prime Minister against making "courageous policy", he could have been talking about venereal diseases.

Many have considered misogyny, class conflict and racial paranoia as the drivers of venereal diseases control policy in the early twentieth century.

In reality, such policy was inclined towards disease control in the most practical way, with the resources to hand, and in line with realistic outcomes.

This book re-examines historical sources to reveal the unacknowledged complexity of determining public policy for the control of venereal diseases in two case studies, Edinburgh in Scotland and Adelaide in South Australia.
