National Vigilance Association

The National Vigilance Association was a British society established in August 1885 "for the enforcement and improvement of the laws for the repression of criminal vice and public immorality".

The Association was the result of articles exposing child prostitution published by W. T. Stead in the Pall Mall Gazette. Stead became a member of its council.[1][2]
