 Prostitution was also dealt with by the "Criminal Code" 1913.The war years and the large number of military personnel in Perth and Fremantle concentrated attention on the issue, however during much of Western Australian history, control of prostitution was largely a police affair rather than a parliamentary one, as a process of "containment", in which brothels were tolerated in exchange for a level of cooperation.Consequently, the names and addresses of prostitutes remain recorded in the official records.
