For Business and Pleasure: Red-Light Districts and the Regulation of Vice in the United States, 1890–1933
This Book provides an in-depth examination of the Progressive Era's approach to regulating urban vice, particularly commercialized prostitution.

It also discusses the evolution of vice regulation during Prohibition, highlighting the shift towards more violent and organized crime. Furthermore, the text touches on the intersection of race, gender, and class in shaping attitudes and policies toward vice, including the impact of the World War I era. It highlights different perspectives and analyzes the effectiveness of various reform efforts. Finally, the material covers the development of the American Social Hygiene Association and its impact on vice reform.
