The Indecent Publications Act 1963

IN the matter of the Indecent Publications Act 1963 and in the matter of an application to determine the character of a series of magazines published in New York, made on behalf of the publishers, Fawcett Publications Inc.

DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL

THE Tribunal is required to determine the character of a series of magazines:

Startling Detective Year Book, Vol. 1, No. 3, 1965;
Startling Detective—the May, July, and September 1966 issues;
Best Detective Cases, Vol. 1, No. 15, 1966;
True Police Cases—the April, June, and August 1966 issues;
True Police Year Book, Vol. 1, No. 15, 1965;

and to classify them in terms of the Indecent Publications Act 1963.

Counsel for the Justice Department called the evidence of Mr Caughley, Psychologist to the Department, who deposed that the reading of these magazines was likely to be injurious to adolescents the more so as they were to be retailed at 3s. 6d. each.

Mr Heron was heard in opposition to the application; he claimed the reports were obtained “on the spot” with the co-operation of the Police, and that there was no glorification of crime.

The Tribunal is of the opinion that these publications are all of the same character. Some appear monthly and some annually, but for purposes of classification they may be treated as members of the same group. Each issue contains a series of reports of detection and police activity in connection with crime. The crimes reported are almost entirely rape and the murder of young women. The style of reporting is sensational and overwritten, the headlines are clearly designed to appeal to prurience, and the coloured covers go even further in their emphasis on sex crimes and violence. The magazines have in our opinion no literary or scientific value and are intended to sell cheaply. We consider that their entire purpose is the commercial exploitation of sensational material.

We accordingly classify all these publications as indecent.
