National Vigilance Association
The National Vigilance Association was a British society established in August 1885 "for the enforcement and improvement of the laws for the repression of criminal vice and public immorality".[1]
The Association was established in response to articles exposing child prostitution published by W. T. Stead in the Pall Mall Gazette. Stead became a member of its council.[2]
