The Society for the Suppression of Vice

The Society for the Suppression of Vice was a British organization established in 1885 aimed at preventing immoral or indecent activities and materials. Its goal was to uphold public morality by monitoring and restricting content deemed inappropriate, such as certain books, films, or public behaviors. The society worked within the legal framework to enforce standards and reduce the spread of what it considered vice, influencing censorship and moral regulation of media and entertainment during its time.
