Pornography As A Species Of Second-Order Sexual Behaviour. A Submission For Law Reform, R. A. Samek
Dalhousie Law Journal

The immediate task of the law reformer is to bring about a change in the legal rules; but his ultimate task is to bring about a change in human behaviour.

Comparative Criminal Law Within The Soviet Union: A Review, William E. Butler
