In April and May 1954 the parliamentary debates were in terms of the idea (as the outraged Sunday Express put it) that 'instead of the prison cell they should have the doctor's clinic.'

In fact his crime was of the kind that everyone agreed should continue to be the object of state attention; meeting people in the street ('importuning'), and having an affair with a working-class nineteen-year-old exemplified what was to be 'condemned and rooted out'.
不过，图灵的罪行并没有什么余地，他在光天化日之下与人"纠缠"，搞了一个19岁的工人阶级的人，这正是属于"必须根除的行为"。
But the number of prosecutions peaked in 1955, and then fell back until 1967.
然而，因同性恋而受审的人数，在1955年达后顶峰后，突然开始掉头下降了，并保持这种下降趋势直至1967年。
