Abstract:
The objective of this paper was to discusses historical developments of sexually transmitted disease (STD)/HIV sexual health policies in Britain, principally from the 19th to the 21st century. Repeating trends were identified and a consideration of how history addresses today's urgent need for better management of sexual health is discussed. In January 1747, the first venereal disease (VD) treatment was established at Lock Hospital, London. As the 19th century passed, sexuality emerged from a conspiracy of silence and became part of social consciousness. In Victorian times, prostitution was regarded with revulsion. Renewed medical interest in VD was brought about by improvements in medical knowledge from 1900–10. In the period 1913–17, there was a significant change in sexual health policy. From 1918, treatment centres increasingly recognized the difficulties in persuading attendees to return for a complete course of treatment. AIDS in Britain wrecked havoc in the period 1981–86 with incidences of infection in several widely differing groups and public alarm fuelled by the media. In conclusion, education, advertising and public health counselling need to be moulded effectively so that the public recognize the real risks associated with unprotected sexual intercourse.

Abstract:
The 19th century can be characterized as a time of avid public interest in team and spectator sports. As diverse and challenging new sports were developed and gained popularity, many articles on a rudimentary sport psychology began to appear in cultural magazines in the United States and Great Britain. Athletes, physicians, educators, journalists, and members of the public wrote on topics such as profiles and psychological studies of elite athletes, the importance of physical training, exercise and health, and the detrimental effects of professional sports to the role of age, gender, and culture in sports. Although a scientific foundation for such observations was largely absent, some of the ideas expressed in early cultural magazines anticipate contemporary interests in sport psychology.

Abstract:
In recent years a wide-ranging debate has focused on the origins and extent of the decline in mortality rates in Britain in the 18th century and in North America during the closing decades of the 19th century. Some historians suggest that the decrease was tied to a general improvement in living standards and in particular to better nutrition while others point to municipal public health measures carried out by vigilant medical health officers. This paper examines the experience of Hamilton, Ont., during a period of extreme urban and industrial expansion, 1900-14. The evidence, both qualitative and quantitative, suggests that these years were not a ''golden age" of public health: the health of Hamiltonians did not improve, and, in fact, mortality rates increased. Moreover, infants and children of the working class were the most obvious casualties of an inhospitable environment that hurt those least able to exert any degree of control over their circumstances. Public health was not a popular cause in the city, and as a consequence, much of the minimal progress that did occur was either fortuitous or the result of the exertions of one man, Dr James Roberts, the crusading medical health officer.

Abstract:
Abstract The original theory behind separating juvenile offenders from adult offenders was to provide care and direction for youngsters instead of isolation and punishment. This idea took hold in the 19th century and became mainstream by the early 20th century. In the 1950s and 1960s, public concern grew because of a perceived lack of effectiveness and lack of rights. The Supreme Court made a series of rulings solidifying juvenile rights including the right to receive notice of charges, the right to have an attorney and the right to have charges proven beyond a reasonable doubt. In the 1980s, the public view was that the juvenile court system was too lenient and that juvenile crimes were on the rise. In the 1990s, many states passed punitive laws, including mandatory sentencing and blanket transfers to adult courts for certain crimes. As a result, the pendulum is now swinging back toward the middle from rehabilitation toward punishment.

Abstract:
SummaryThe use of height data to measure living standards is now a well-established method in economic history. Moreover, a number of core findings in the literature are widely agreed upon. There are still some populations, places and times, however, for which anthropometric evidence remains thin. One example is 19th century African-Americans in US border-states. This paper introduces a new data set from the Missouri state prison to track the heights of comparable black and white men born between 1820 and 1904. Modern blacks and whites come to comparable terminal statures when brought to maturity under optimal conditions; however, whites were persistently taller than blacks in the Missouri prison sample by two centimetres. Throughout the 19th century, black and white adult statures remained approximately constant, while black youth stature increased during the antebellum period.

Abstract:
This study deals with the topic of social class and mortality. In particular, the analyses are concentrated on the question of how social differences developed in an era which was characterised by industrialisation, urbanisation and sanitary improvements. This work also discusses how the problems of social class and health were dealt with in the nineteenth Century. The development of medicai care and public health are especially studied. The development of mortality in different social classes is analysed on micro level in the town of Sundsvall during the 19th century, for which the parish registers for the period 1803-1894 have been transferred on to data. This town became the centre of an expansive saw mill area from the middle of the Century. In contrast to the view of contemporary witnesses, inequality seems to have been fairly small in some age groups, but the pattems diverged between them. Mortality among adults was largely dependent on cultural variables such as life style and attitudes, and social differences played a minor role. Men had much higher mortality than women. The development does not seem to have been primarily affected by industrialisation, urbanisation or sanitary improvements. For children 1-14 years old, on the other hand, conditions created by industrialisation and urbanisation seem to have been of the utmost importance. Child mortality increased from 1860, affecting first of all working class children. Overcrowding increased the spread of infectious diseases. Sanitary improvements may have had an effect on the mortality level from around 1880, but more definitely in the 1890's. The same is also the case regarding infant mortality. They may have had some impact on the initial decline in infant mortality, but the connection appears to be stronger in the 1890's. The social inequality in infant mortality was insignificant until late 19th centuiy, but increased at that time. Among infants, feeding practises were also of importance.

The objective of this research is to understand how the population composed of Africans and Afros Brazilians in Desterro (SC), especially the women, healers, mourners and healers who used the ancestral knowledge, for the practices of healing between 1844 and 1889 in Desterro (SC). This period, when posture codes, the terms of well-being in communion with the hygienist's medical gaze, and the desire to modernize by local political elites were in vogue, with the intention of controlling the poor populations and, consequently, the called healing practices developed by populations of African origin. The empire and the beginning of the Republic, with their ideals of modernization, hygiene and the fight against insalubrity, based on the absolute knowledge of medicine, also tried to regulate the practices called "witchcraft." The numerous works that approach the theme of healers and healers in Santa Catarina, with few exceptions, mainly focus on white women who are believed to be Azorean descendants. The African presence and its healing practices related to patient care appear in the background. We used as main source of research, announcements of local newspapers, inventory, trades and correspondence exchanged between the administration of the province of Santa Catarina and the empire, linked to the practices of healing and prayers on the island of Santa Catarina
O objetivo desta pesquisa é de que forma a população composta por africanos e afros brasileiros em Desterro (SC), especialmente as mulheres, benzedeiras, rezadeiras e curandeiras que se utilizavam dos conhecimentos ancestrais, para as práticas de cura entre 1844 a 1889 em Desterro (SC). Período este, em que estavam em voga os códigos de postura, os termos de bem viver em comunhão com o olhar médico higienista e o desejo de modernizar por parte das elites políticas locais, com a intenção de controlar as populações pobres e, consequentemente, as chamadas práticas de cura desenvolvidas pelas populações de origem africana. O Império e o início da República, com seus ideais de modernização, higienização e combate à insalubridade, pautados no saber absoluto da medicina, também tentaram regular as práticas chamadas de ″feitiçarias". Os inúmeros trabalhos que abordam a temática de curadores e benzedeiras em Santa Catarina, salvo poucas exceções, têm como enfoque principal, em sua maioria, mulheres brancas e supostamente descendentes de açorianas. A presença africana e suas práticas de cura ligadas ao atendimento aos doentes aparecem em segundo plano. Por esse motivo, esta pesquisa pretende abordar estas práticas presentes em Desterro e seus desdobramentos. Utilizamos como principal fonte de pesquisa, anúncios de jornais locais, inventário, ofícios e correspondências trocados entre a administração da província catarinense e o império, ligados às práticas de cura e rezas na ilha de Santa Catarina

Abstract:
Neste estudo procedemos à apresentação e discussão do corpus documental que permitiu reunir elementos para a história da saúde pública em Portugal entre a revolução liberal de 1820 e o movimento regenerador de 1852 e as linhas de continuidade e de rutura em relação ao “Antigo Regime”. Usando a metodologia de investigação histórica, recorremos a diversas fontes arquivísticas constituídas, sobretudo, por coleções de legislação, pelo teor dos diários das Cortes Gerais e Extraordinárias (1821-1822) e da Câmara dos Senhores Deputados (1822-1852) e pelas coleções de contas, orçamentos e documentos apresentados pelo Ministro da Fazenda às Cortes (1836-1852). Também se consultaram outras fontes para reunir elementos sobre a arqueologia da prática e dos discursos identitários dos enfermeiros nos finais do “Antigo Regime”. A análise do material recolhido permite destacar a “ciência de polícia médica” como um elemento fundador e estruturante das políticas de saúde pública, fazer a genealogia do Conselho de Saúde Pública e identificar os avanços, as hesitações e resistências à edificação dum sistema de saúde pública, à definição da sua estrutura, organização e campos de intervenção. Num quadro social de miséria e subdesenvolvimento e num cenário de permanente conflitualidade política e institucional, identificam-se as epidemias, os expostos, os enterros nas igrejas, a vigilância de grupos marginais e a higiene dos espaços públicos como alguns dos principais problemas de saúde pública. Referem-se, ainda, os principais agentes da saúde que intervieram no controlo sanitário dos portos, no interior do reino e nos hospitais; os processos de regulação das principais profissões e as medidas implementadas para promover a sua formação. De entre estas profissões, identificamos os traços que caracterizam as práticas dos enfermeiros, o seu perfil de competências e a organização do seu trabalho, no Hospital de S. José ou nos hospitais militares e da marinha. Destaca-se, ainda, o papel dos municípios e das misericórdias como agentes fundamentais na resolução dos principais problemas de saúde pública ou na governação dos hospitais. Os temas contidos neste estudo poderão abrir horizontes para prosseguir ou criar novas áreas de investigação em história da Enfermagem, elemento fundamental, a par da filosofia e da epistemologia dos cuidados, para a compreensão das encruzilhadas do tempo presente e dos desafios que se colocam à profissão.
In this study we proceeded to the presentation and discussion of the documentary corpus that allowed the gathering of elements for the history of public health in Portugal between the liberal revolution of 1820 and the regenerating movement of 1852 and the lines of continuity and rupture of the "ancien régime". Using the methodology of historical research, we use various archival sources constituted mainly by collections of legislation, the content of General and Extraordinary Courts (1821-1822) and the Chamber of Deputies (1822-1852) journals, and the collections of accounts, budgets and documents submitted by the Minister of finance to the Courts (1836-1852). Oher sources were also consulted to gather information on the archaeology of the practice and identity discourses of nurses at the end of the "Ancien Régime". The analysis of the material collected allows highlighting the "Science of medical police" as a founder and structuring element of the public health policy, doing the Public Health Council genealogy and identifying the advances, hesitations and resistances to the building of a public health system, the definition of its structure, organization and intervention fields. In a social framework of misery and underdevelopment and in scenery of permanent political and institutional conflicts, epidemics, the exposed, the burials in churches, the surveillance of marginal groups and the hygiene of public spaces, are identified as some of the major public health problems. It is also mentioned, the main health agents who intervened in the sanitary control of ports, within the Kingdom and in hospitals; the regulatory processes of the main professions and the measures implemented to promote their formation. Among these professions, we identify the guidelines that characterize the practices of nurses, their skills profile and the organization of their work, in S. José Hospital or in military and navy hospitals. The role of the municipalities and of benifit Institutions as fundamental agents in the resolution of the main public health problems or in the governance of hospitals is prominent. The topics contained in this study may open horizons to continue or create new areas of research in the history of nursing, basic element, alongside philosophy and epistemology of health care, to the understanding of the crossroads of the present time and of the challenges facing the profession.

Abstract:
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
The Charity Organization Society of Indianapolis experienced founding, maturing, and corporate phases between 1879 and 1922. Indianapolis provided the ideal setting for the organized charity movement to flourish. Men and women innovated to act on their civic ideal to make Indianapolis a desirable city. As charity leaders applied the new techniques of scientific philanthropy, they assembled data one case at a time and based solutions to social problems on reforming individuals. The COS enjoyed its peak influence and legitimacy between 1891 and 1911. The organization continually learned from its work and advised other charities in Indianapolis and the U.S. The connected men and women engaged in organized charity learned that it was not enough to reform every individual who came to them for help. Industrialization created new socioeconomic strata and new forms of dependence. As the COS evolved, it implemented more systemic solutions to combat illness, unemployment, and poverty. After 1911 the COS stagnated while Indianapolis diversified economically, culturally, ethnically, and socially. The COS failed to adapt to its rapidly changing environment; it could not withstand competition, internal upheaval, specialization, and professionalization. Its general mission, to aid anyone in need, became lost in the shadow of child saving. Mid-level businessmen, corporate entities, professional social workers, service club members, and ethnic and racial minorities all participated in philanthropy. The powerful cache of social capital enervated and the civic ideal took on different dimensions. In 1922 the COS merged with other agencies to form the Family Welfare Society. This dissertation contributes to the scholarship of charity organization societies and social welfare policy. The scientific philanthropy movement did not represent an enormous leap from neighborhood benevolence. COSs represented neither a sinister agenda nor the best system to eradicate poverty. Organized charity did not create a single response to poverty, but a series of incremental responses that evolved over more than four decades. The women of Indianapolis exhibited more agency in their charitable work than is commonly understood. Charitable actors worked to harness giving and volunteering, bring an end to misery, and make Indianapolis an ideal city.

Full text
Abstract:
In this chapter, Mariana Valverde offers a historical overview of the discourses underlying modern criminal theory. Modern criminology is rooted in a long tradition of “miserology,” the study of that “hybrid of moral degradation, physical ill health, spatial marginality, and collective despair . . . found among the new urban proletariat.” That history spans Engels’s focus on the “nameless misery” of British factory workers, great 19th-century novelists like Charles Dickens and Victor Hugo, Christian anti-poverty activism, modern welfare dependency discourse, and The Wire. Criminology, however, has lost touch with those deeply situated inquiries. Valverde points to the mid-20th century as a moment of schism between the professional study of crime and crime rates—what we now call criminology—and the study of housing, alcoholism, public health, mental health, and other poverty-related phenomena. But those early miserologists in many ways anticipated today’s resurgent interest in risk, race, social control, and the framing of crime, not as a stand-alone phenomenon, but as one aspect of social marginalization and disadvantage.

Abstract Case records examined here are those of inmates in two public institutions for the insane in colonial Victoria, Australia, and in Auckland, New Zealand, between 1870 and 1910. In the international field of mental health studies and histories of psychiatry, intellectual disability has been the subject of detailed historical inquiry and forms part of the critical discussion about how institutions for the “insane” housed a range of inmates in the nineteenth century. Yet the archival records of mental hospitals have rarely been examined in any sustained way for their detail about the physically disabled or those whose records denote bodily difference. References to the physical manifestations of various forms of intellectual or emotional disability, as well as to bodily difference and “deformity,” were part of the culture of the colonial institution, which sought to categorize, label, and ascribe identities to institutional inmates.

Abstract:
Abstract The history of medicine shows how social norms, professional ethics, licensure, price regulations, hospitals, and charitable service developed over thousands of years. People needed care and were willing to pay for it even before cures were effective. Trust and financial rewards were based on personal relationships. Spending was small but persistent, with fees calibrated by individuals’ ability to pay and supplemented by donations and public taxation. Governments and wealthy patrons shared some responsibility for public health and for care of the poor, while kings provided care for soldiers and sailors in order to retain military might and political power. However, responsibility for medical treatment remained primarily an individual and family responsibility until the late 19th century.
