Prohibition a Failure (Classic Reprint): Or, the True Solution of the Temperance Question: Or, the True Solution of the Temperance Question (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Rethink temperance through law and compassion, not just prohibition. This book argues that preventing harm is best won through understanding, not sweeping bans, and it questions common assumptions about criminalizing vice.
From legal theory to everyday life, it examines what really accompanies temperance reform and why simply criminalizing drinking may miss the mark. It presents practical perspectives on responsibility, enforcement, and the power of humane approaches to reduce harm and protect communities.
- A clear look at why “vices are not crimes” and how criminal law should treat self‑regarding choices.
- Arguments against overreliance on prohibitive laws and ideas for more effective, humane reform.
- Plain explanations of how courts and lawmakers can balance public safety with individual rights.
- Thoughtful examples that connect law, morality, and everyday decisions about alcohol.
Ideal for readers interested in the history of temperance, legal philosophy, and social policy, who want a measured, evidence‑based take on the temperance question.

Prohibition a Failure: Or, the True Solution of the Temperance Question
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the temperance movement, arguing that its legalistic approach remains a major obstacle to its stated aims. The author, a staunch advocate for temperance himself, argues that the focus on prohibition has only strengthened the forces that perpetuate alcohol abuse. Instead, he posits that a reliance on social, moral, and religious forces will lead to far greater progress. Throughout the book, the author offers an abundance of historical examples and anecdotes to support his claims, engaging with the reader in a compelling and thought -provoking manner. Drawing on his own experiences and observations, the author argues that while alcohol is indeed a poison, the root of the problem lies in factors that can only be addressed through moral enlightenment. This book will be of great value to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the temperance movement and its historical and philosophical underpinnings.
