Abstract

This article tries to elucidate the strategies promoted by the police authorities to repress prostitution and marginality at the end of the Ancien Régime Portugal. Building new types of real and symbolic boundaries, police authorities excluded prostitutes and marginals from public space, evoking reasons of public health, economics and moral. In the course of the next pages, we will analyze the meaning and scope of this historical process.
