TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - The failure of British obscenity law in the regulation of pornography JO - Journal of sexual aggression A1 - Edwards, Susan S. M. SP - 111 EP - 127 VL - 6 IS - 1-2 N2 - In this paper the author addresses the problem of pornography with particular reference to legal regulation in England and Wales against the wider context of the lack of adequate control of pornography world-wide. This is explored first by an examination of the nature and increasing availability of pornography. Second, is provided a consideration of the competing philosophical and ideological arguments for and against its regulation. Third, is provided a statement of the current legal regulatory mechanisms of control germane to the global dissemination of pornography. Finally, the application and effectiveness of obscenity law in England and Wales is considered.
