But as the historian Henri Pirenne noted, every work of synthesis inspires a new crop of specialised research, and I am clearly aware of the provisional nature of this work, and the host of fresh questions it raises. It should be said, however, that this book was never intended as a detailed or exhaustive account of all the multifarious patterns of sexual behaviour. It is in essence, as the title and subtitle imply, a discussion of the forces that have organised and regulated sexuality within a particular historical period (roughly the period of industrial capitalism) in a par- ticular geographical and political area (Great Britain, and chiefly that part south of Scotland). But I hope that some of the conclusions suggested will have a wider resonance. Its working premise, set out in some detail in Chapter 1, is that ‘sexuality’ is not an unproblematic natural given, which the ‘social’ works upon to control, but is, on the contrary, an historical unity which has been shaped and determined by a multiplicity of forces, and which has undergone complex historical transformations. In order to account for some of the changes that have taken place, the book, while largely chronological in form, avoids a simple narrative structure. It revolves around three broad issues: the meaning given to sexuality in Victorian society; the construction of sexuality as an area of social concern, scientific investigation and reforming endeavour in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; and the place of sexuality in twentieth-century consciousness and social policy. In tackling these questions I am aware that I have ignored other domains of interest, and have bypassed other questions that might fruitfully have been discussed. My excuse is that my aim has been a modest, but I believe vitally important, one: to delineate the forces, ideas and social practices that have elevated sexuality into a prime focus of social concern over the past two hundred years. Preface to the third edition ex, Politics and Society was first published in 1981, and soon Sestablished itself as a key text on the history of sexuality over the past 200 years. Refreshed by a second edition in 1989, which incorporated some corrections and minor updates, plus a new Postscript on the 1980s, it has been continuously in print for thirty years. It was written when research on sexuality in Britain was still marginalised, and when the serious, theoretically informed and empirically rigorous, study of sexuality was still in its infancy. In an important sense, therefore, the book was a pioneering one, and in the original Preface I wrote of ‘the provisional nature of this work, and the host of fresh questions it raises’. The book turned out to be less provisional than I expected, while the questions it raised have continued to echo in contemporary debates. The book proved to be influential, both as a student text and as a significant contribution to research in sexuality. It has been very widely cited over the years, and is still being quoted in contemporary cutting-edge work. I believe that both its empirical detail and fundamental analysis have broadly stood the test of time. More recent work and further research have of course modified some of the judgements I made thirty years ago, and there is now an abundance of monograph and other specialist studies on various aspects of the period which have contributed enormously to our knowledge and understanding. But there is still no obviously competing book that covers the whole of the same period, and that is the main justification for this revised edition. One of my prime aims in writing Sex, Politics and Society was to treat sexual behaviour not as something esoteric and set apart, but as firmly located in wider social life.

  • A Veritable Revolution: the Court of Criminal Appeal in English
    A VERITABLE REVOLUTION: THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL IN ENGLISH CRIMINAL HISTORY 1908-1958 A THESIS IN History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by CECILE ARDEN PHILLIPS B.A. University of Missouri-Kansas City, 1986 Kansas City, Missouri 2012 © 2012 CECILE ARDEN PHILLIPS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED A VERITABLE REVOLUTION: THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL IN ENGLISH CRIMINAL HISTORY 1908-1958 Cecile Arden Phillips, Candidate for the Masters of Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2012 ABSTRACT In a historic speech to the House of Commons on April 17, 1907, British Attorney General, John Lawson Walton, proposed the formation of what was to be the first court of criminal appeal in English history. Such a court had been debated, but ultimately rejected, by successive governments for over half a century. In each debate, members of the judiciary declared that a court for appeals in criminal cases held the potential of destroying the world-respected English judicial system. The 1907 debates were no less contentious, but the newly elected Liberal government saw social reform, including judicial reform, as their highest priority. After much compromise and some of the most overwrought speeches in the history of Parliament, the Court of Criminal Appeal was created in August 1907 and began hearing cases in May 1908. A Veritable Revolution is a social history of the Court’s first fifty years. There is no doubt, that John Walton and the other founders of the Court of Criminal Appeal intended it to provide protection from the miscarriage of justice for English citizens convicted of criminal offenses.

At some periods, and in some places, it is solved by the crude method of infanticide-the destrug:ion of the child after birth. This solution being out of con­ sonance with our ethical views, we have to consider whether we are to accept as inevitable the burden which has to be shouldered by the rest of Society if unpro­ ductive, and often actively anti-social, individuals are permitted to be born without Society making any _attempt at all to check their numbers, or whether, on the other hand, we are to make some attempt to check them.
