Summary

This chapter explores the implementation of regulation in Lima in the early twentieth century. It considers the increasingly public debate over prostitution, in which several groups intervened including freemasons, anarchists, anticlerical journalists, and feminists, and the arguments put forward by the medico-legal community in support of regulation in this period. The chapter also examines how the authorities used the powers to police prostitution created by regulation in order to shape its geography and character.
