Anna Lvovsky details the progression of enforcement strategies through the targeting of gay-friendly bars by liquor boards, enticement of sexual overtures by plainclothes police decoys, and surveilling of public bathrooms via peepholes and two-way mirrors to catch someone "in the act." Lvovsky shows how the use of tactics indistinguishable from entrapment to criminalize homosexual men in public and private spaces produced charges brought forward and disputed by attorneys and evidence that had to stand before judges, who at times intervened against punitive policies. In Vice Patrol the author demonstrates how developments in the psychological, medical, and sociological handling of homosexuality filtered into police stations, courthouses, and the wider culture"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Male homosexuality $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Gays $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z United States. 650 0 $a Vice control $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Law enforcement $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Gays $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939281 650 7 $a Law enforcement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993931 650 7 $a Male homosexuality. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01430687 650 7 $a Vice control. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01166239 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780226769813 941 $a 6 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619011530.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214033817.0 952 $l GLAX641 $d 20231201010739.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100239.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20221203065746.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220802015649.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=11C961E6177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
