ABA Journal: Modern Law Library : 'Vice Patrol' examines how police and courts enforced anti-gay laws before Stonewall
A red tie. Manicured nails. Bleached hair. Loafers. The width of a person's hips.

In Vice Patrol: Cops, Courts, and the Struggle Over Urban Gay Life Before Stonewall, author Anna Lvovsky examines the way that queer communities were policed in the 1930s through the 1960s.
