Abstract:

This reprint from the April-June 1943 issue of Federal Probation is a companion to this issue's lead article on federal probation in wartime. Written by former "Untouchable" Eliot Ness, who by this time headed the Social Protection Section of the Office of Defense Health and Welfare Services, it demonstrates the wartime concern with prostitution and its public health implications for the armed forces.
