The Legislation Which Is Required to Meet the Case of the Habitual Drunkard (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A bold call for reform: current laws fail to curb habitual drunkenness, and practical reforms are urged.

In this edition, the author argues that existing powers are useless for reform and lays out a clear case for new, simpler, and stricter legislation. Drawing on historical inquiries and parliamentary debate, it frames alcohol abuse as both a social disease and a matter of public policy, and it outlines why reformatories and proper oversight are needed to break the downward spiral caused by drink.

- Understand the challenges of past legislation and why fines and short imprisonments fall short
- See proposed pathways for reform, including new powers to detain and treat, not punish
- Learn how reformatories could work alongside schools and other social measures
- Explore the debate around personal liberty, public protection, and the role of government

Ideal for readers interested in legal history, social reform, and how public policy can confront entrenched social issues through structured, reform-minded proposals.
