Defining Morality

A Note on the Regulation and Control of Nude Dancing in California Bars

Carl E. Pope

Criminal Justice Research Center Latham, New York

The role of an administrative agency in attempting to suppress behavior which it deems to be morally objectionable is examined. Data were obtained by means of participant observation and a systematic examination of case records. The regulatory nature of the agency and its relationship to local law enforcement, the behavior (bottomless dancing), and the methods utilized by the agency to eliminate the behavior are examined. Relevant state and federal appellate court decisions are considered, followed by an analysis of the problems generated by the agency's attempt to regulate moral standards.
