Hicklin test
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hicklin test is a legal concept stemming from the English case R. v. Hicklin (1868), LR 3 QB 360.
The test asks "whether the tendency of the matter charged as obscenity is to deprave and corrupt those whose minds are open to such immoral influences." If yes, then such was declared to be obscene.
