HOW THIS REPORT CAME ABOUT

When my wife and I arrived in England in September 1957, we made an informal inquiry to find out what were considered to be the most intractable social problems in this country. We asked about 250 persons of some standing and came to the conclusion that there were six which could be thought of as giving considerable concern. One of these was homosexuality, and this report is the first result of our work in this particular field. Some indication here of the lines along which we have worked in tackling the other five main problems may help the reader to understand our approach to homosexuality.

Here are the other 5 main problems of England. Check the book to learn what they mean and why they are concerns. Note that #5 is longer than all the others put together.

1. The New Housing Areas
2. The Old Housing Areas
3. Adolescents in Secondary Schools
4. The Prisons
5. Mental Health
