About this product
Product Information
Offers a new perspective on the relationship between the law and society in modern Scotland . Makes a significant contribution to our understanding of sexual practices and attitudes in modern Scotland. Provides in-depth case studies of abortion, bestiality, brothel-keeping, child sexual abuse, homosexual acts, sex shops, VD quackery and HIV transmissionUsing a wide range of prosecution and trial records, along with more recent newspaper coverage of court proceedings, this book furnishes a fascinating insight into the relationship between the law, sex, and society in modern Scotland. Case studies of sex-related offences, including abortion, bestiality, brothel-keeping, child sexual assault, and wilful HIV transmission, reveal how far the legal process both reflected and reinforced contemporary moral panics and how far it was shaped by the interplay between law officers and forensic experts, by the prejudices of the local community and civic leaders, and by Scotland's distinctive legal and moral ident

Reviews
Throughout this book, Roger Davidson brings to his sources the forensic attentions of a social historian at the peak of his powers. And although it could hardly be considered gentle Fireside reading, Illicit and Unnatural Practices comprises a valuable resource for legal and medical scholars studying Scotland, and those investigating the policing of dangerous sexualities in twentieth century Europe., Davidson brings a mastery of the sources, a deep understanding of the particularities of the Scottish legal system, and a firm grasp of the historical shaping of sexual norms and values to the case studies in this book. The result is a superb insight into the complexities and evolution of the legal regulation of 'unnatural' sexualities in Scotland.
