Enforcement of Morals Summary

Enforcement of Morals by Patrick Devlin

The limits of individual freedom within society -- the boundaries of the public and the private in the realm of morals, and the point at which the law may enter -- are the core concern of these seven essays by prominent British jurist Lord Patrick Devlin.

About Patrick Devlin

Patrick Devlin (1905-92) studied history and law at Cambridge University and became a successful lawyer. He worked for various government ministries during the Second World War, and in 1948 became the second-youngest person ever appointed a High Court judge. He was knighted later that year. In 1957 the controversial Wolfenden report recommended decriminalisation of private acts of homosexuality, and two sides of the debate about the law's place in the enforcement of morals emerged.
