dc.description.abstract | The extension and multiplication of licensing provisions
is a natural, and perhaps inevitable, outcome of the development
and growing complexity of civilization and social
organization. This tendency is viewed with feelings of
profound suspicion, and sometimes violent hatred, by persons
of a certain temperament or outlook?by those, namely, of a
predominantly individualistic turn of mind?those who prize
individual freedom beyond anything else. With others, however,
the idea- of the restriction of individual freedom is
mainly associated with the idea of schemes for the improvement
of social conditions, which, as at present, are regarded
by them as intolerably bad, and to those of such a socialistic
turn of mind a policy of control has no terrors. With some
this socialistic impulse is so strongly developed that they
seem almost ready to welcome State control as if it were
something good inherently and on its own account. As
this is not merely a Statistical but also a Social Inquiry
Society, it cannot be beyond the scope of a paper proper to
be submitted to the Society to deal to some extent with the
general bearings of the problem of restrictions upon and
the control of a freedom that is at present practically unfettered,
which restriction and control are implied by any
proposal as to licensing shops, and also to deal with the
theory and experienced effects of licensing provisions so far
as may seem instructive with regard to the particular question
under consideration. | en |
