Note 268 — Chapter V · REGULATION AND ORDER—THE STREETS

Vorentwurf, loc. cit. Begründung, pp. 850–853. High authorities question even then whether the proposed changes are sufficiently explicit to put the systems of regulation beyond all question. Lindenau suggests a definite declaration, but there is no likelihood of its adoption (Die strafrechtliche Bekämpfung der Gewerbsunzucht, in Prof. von Liszt’s Festschrift).

I am informed by a member of the Swedish Commission that regulation in Stockholm is based on a set of instructions issued by the Grand Governor, but never signed by him, as is regularly the custom. The official in question is described as having been unwilling to affix his signature to such a document; the police overlook the technical defect.
