Examines the legal issues associated with government regulation of sexually oriented businesses. Addresses constitutional issues such as what type of sexually oriented activity can be banned entirely; zoning restrictions on the location of sexually oriented businesses--the type of restrictions most frequently used by local governments; how far the First Amendment allows local governments to go in restricting these businesses; what a local government must do to establish a proper legal foundation for its regulations; and the operational restrictions that can be imposed on sexually oriented businesses.
