Distinguishing between the Surgeon General's personal views and the consensus reached at his workshop on pornography

Author Neil M. Malamuth

Abstract

Comments that the article by C. E. Koop (see record 1988-04284-001) reporting on the Workshop on Pornography and Public Health did not distinguish between Koop's views and the consensus of the participating social scientists. The consensus report listed a cautious and scientifically well-supported set of conclusions that were less definitive than reported. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
