The Social Evil in New York City: A Study of Law Enforcement by the Research Committee of the Committee of Fourteen (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from The Social Evil in New York City: A Study of Law Enforcement by the Research Committee of the Committee of Fourteen In the winter of 1905, partly in pursuance of a recommendation made by the Committee of Fifteen in its report published in 1902, and partly because of the increase of those aspects of the social evil directly traceable to the Raines Law hotels, the Committee of Fourteen was organized for the express purpose of suppressing such hotels. Two years later a sub-committee (now the Research Committee) was formed by the Committee of Fourteen for the closer study of certain phases of the social evil not directly within the scope of the general committee's work, yet concerning which more definite knowledge seemed desirable.
