  • Any Other Immoral Purpose: the Mann Act, Policing Women, and the American State, 1900 – 1941
    Any Other Immoral Purpose: The Mann Act, Policing Women, and the American State, 1900 – 1941 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jessica Rae Pliley, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Susan M. Hartmann, Advisor Paula Baker Kevin Boyle Copyright by Jessica Rae Pliley 2010 Abstract This study explores the White Slave Traffic Act of 1910, commonly known as the Mann Act, a federal law that outlawed taking woman or girl over state lines for the purposes of prostitution, debauchery, or “any other immoral purpose.” It traces the international origins of the anti‐white slavery movement; looks at the anti‐ slavery origins and rhetoric of the anti‐white slavery movement; and contextualizes the American anti‐white slavery movement in a broader context of American colonial and racial politics. It then examines the Immigration Bureau’s experiments and investigations into white slavery, conceived by the bureau as foreign prostitution, to show how the Immigration Bureau agitated for greater border controls throughout the United States. At the center of this dissertation is the Bureau of Investigation’s enforcement of the White Slave Trafficking Act. Throughout the 1910s bureau agents struggled with how to enforce the statute: was it a law intended to protect young women from nonwhite men or police young women who in the changing sexual culture were increasingly experimenting with sexuality? In the course of the decade, the bureau experimented with ways to expand its reach while trying to contain prostitutes by tracking prostitutes who crossed state lines.

    Journal of Social Issues, Vol. 59, No. 2, 2003, pp. 391--410 Verbal and Nonverbal Dynamics of Privacy, Secrecy, and Deceit ∗ Bella M. DePaulo University of Virginia Chris Wetzel Rhodes College R. Weylin Sternglanz University of Virginia Molly J. Walker Wilson University of Virginia We discuss the ways in which deception can be used to protect privacy, as well as the ways in which claims to privacy can provide the latitude to lie. In their attempts to maintain their own privacy and their secrets, people can be assisted by others who overlook their lies. Habits of honoring other people’s verbal and nonverbal claims about themselves, even when they are not totally convincing, and expectations of similar indulgences from others can keep interactions from getting derailed by small interpersonal bumps. But they also enable exploitation in the form of frauds and scams. Our interest is in the practice of privacy, secrecy, and deceit in the ways that have been available to humans throughout history: in what they say (or do not say) and how they say it. The focus of our analysis is the ways in which privacy can be protected by verbal and nonverbal expressions rather than fences or firewalls. Our original aim was to explore the role of deception in regulating privacy and invading it. But we soon discovered that privacy and deceit could not speak clearly ∗ Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Bella M.
