Socialinio elgesio nukrypimų teisinis vertinimas tarpukario Lietuvoje

Abstract

Straipsnyje analizuojama prostitucijos raiška ir valstybės pastangos ją reglamentuoti tarpukario Lietuvoje. Atskleidžiama politinių partijų pozicija prostitucijos reglamentavimo atžvilgiu. Aptariamos „Laikinosios prostitucijos reglamentacijos taisyklės“ (1919) ir jų taikymo ypatumai. Remiantis publikacijomis to meto spaudoje, analizuojama visuomenės reakcija į prostitucijos reglamentavimo praktiką ir jos pasekmes.

Eventually the system of registration of prostitutes appeared to be effectless; it neither decreased the number of prostitutes nor gave expected results in fight against venereal diseases. The authoritarian ruling was getting stronger, and the President A. Smetona tried to demonstrate his w ill in the fight against that evil, which destroyed morality and family traditions, without abolishing the causes of the phenomenon and searching for positive decisions; therefore, in 1935 the “Law on fight against venereal diseases” was adopted, in which “the traces of police influence” still remained quite evident. The penal code was complemented with strict fines for prostitution, organization and keeping of brothels or other places of prostitution. In turn strict rules on the regulation of prostitution stimulated the emigration of prostitutes, which became the benefit for criminals who by trick transported prostitutes to the Western countries to work in brothels. Thus it stimulated the traffic in women.
