Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of Transvaal, South Africa's Liquor Laws. It particularly reviews sixteen years of prohibition laws that have, to a large extent, failed to prevent a thriving black market for alcohol. The book provides conclusive evidence of the illicit sale of alcohol in spite of stringent deterrents and punitive measures, including prison sentences. Looking at the social and cultural history of this law in South Africa, the author suggests the country is not yet ready to consider complete prohibition for all people, but that the current ban on alcohol sales to non-whites has proven ineffective and has led to severe social ills. The book's insights into how laws and crime often operate at odds with one another will be of significant interest to scholars of law, criminology, and social history.
