520    The Australian Royal Commission into Institutional 
       Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (2013-2017) has given 
       national consciousness to the problematic treatment of 
       sexual offences in Australia's past. Yet there has been 
       little historical research into the policing, prosecution 
       and punishment of those crimes. This book examines 
       Australia's treatment of sexual crimes in the 1950s, a 
       decade well known for its political and social 
       conservatism, its prudish views on morality, and its 
       prescriptive gender roles for men and women. Fewer would 
       know that this same decade saw soaring arrests, mounting 
       criminal prosecutions, and intensifying public debates 
       about how to deal with sexual offenders. Or that sexual 
       offences on children attracted the most concentrated state
       attention and public concern. Sex Crimes in the Fifties 
       uncovers this new history by drawing on transcripts of 
       hundreds of criminal proceedings and extensive research in
       criminal justice archives. We examine the criminal trial 
       itself, exploring how prosecutors, defence counsel, 
       witnesses, juries and judges understood sexual crimes. We 
       consider the experience of women testifying in rape trials,
       the prosecution of sexual crimes against children, the 
       court's treatment of recent immigrants, the prosecution 
       and punishment of homosexual men, the influence of 
       psychiatric evidence, and the increasing public debates 
       over the 'sex offender'. We show that the 1950s was indeed
       foundational to many of our contemporary beliefs about 
       sexual crimes. This book makes a major contribution to our
       historical and socio-legal knowledge about sexual offences
       and criminal prosecution. It will be of interest to 
       historians, criminologists, sociologists, and legal 
       scholars as well as general readers interested in the 
       treatment of these crimes in our past.
