VICE PROSECUTIONS
Sllt.—Dr. Reid's disquieting account of the police Prosecutions at Wells should receive all possible 1,1Ublicity. Evidently the scientific conclusions and nutnane recommendations of the Wolfenden Report eat no ice in that city. Nor is Wells unique. I have On good authority that in another provincial city "le police have under their control a homosexual whom they employ as a bait. He encourages homo- sexual advances and then reports them. No doubt most police officers would refuse to adopt this dis- llOsting technique. They are a decent body of men. elitt if they wish to adopt it they are legally entitled In do so.
Wolfenden divergences in police procedure, see the wolfenden Report, paragraph 129. That Report is not dead because the present Government has chosen 1° ignore it. It is a living document which will be eonstantly discussed and will gradually influence public opinion.—Yours faithfully, Reform Club, SW I
