The Social Costs of Pornography:
A Statement of Findings and Recommendations

The Witherspoon Institute has released The Social Costs of Pornography: A Statement of Findings and Recommendations, the fruit of an inquiry begun at a consultation held in Princeton, New Jersey. This consultation was the first multifaceted, multidisciplinary, scholarly exploration of pornography since the advent of the Internet. The proceedings, research, and recommendations are available in booklet form and as a two-DVD set of the actual two-day meeting that assembled leading experts in several fields, including economics, psychology, sociology, and law, to present a rigorously argued overview of pornography in todays society. This publication is the first of the Social Costs of Pornography Project.
