I was supposed to move this article to a new page called Contagious Diseases Acts, but when I attempted to do so, some guy with an anonymous IP wrote the article (on the same day!), which I might add, needs to be cleaned up and wikified. RashBold 21:18, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
The Contagious Disease act in Britian was a particular act with a particular effect. It should remain under this page, although the information contained therein should be included in a general overview of contagious diseases acts. The German example would probably not be all that helpful in this particular British example.
This article ignores information from Walkewitiz's book on prostitution in victorian england. (which may indeed be titled that) This argues that the act formalized what had been an informal prostitution, trapping young women in that lifestyle weras before prostitution had simply been a way to supplement thier income. Also, my research on the CD acts indicates that they were abolished by a strange partership of White Cross purity activists who wanted to eliminate vice and early feminists who wanted to improve the living conditions of prostitutes. Both wanted to recind the CD acts but once that goal was accomplished thier differences were not bridgeable. anyway,when i get a change i will put this in. user: notenderwiggin
I've added section headings and performed some text edits. The article is still light on information:

"It was because of men that there was demand for prostitutes, "
Hmm... this is like saying "because of blacks there is a lot of crime in the ghetto"
"As military men were discouraged from marriage and homosexual behaviour was criminal, prostitution was considered a necessary evil."
Only because it was illegal men did not engage in homosexual behavior? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomtul2 ( talk • contribs) 22:46, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
The article currently refers to a "chatnam prostitute". What does chatnam mean? Should it have a capital C, and is it a misspelling of a place name? Trafford09 ( talk) 23:49, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
There's a fascinating account here: [1] Carbon Caryatid ( talk) 14:11, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

This Article is not expansive enough, and each of the 3 CD acts need their own subsections added to the contents, detailing exactly what each of them comprised of. There is no data in the CD acts section to describe the forced internal examinations that women underwent, and to make it clear and concise as to how each successive law expanded upon its previous limitations, stating things such as "The Act of 1864 stated that women found to be infected could be interned in locked hospitals for up to three months, a period gradually extended to one year with the 1869 Act." is not good enough. This article needs to be much more detailed, precise and informative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArtemisLogic ( talk • contribs) 04:56, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
