Generalizing

This is criminal behavior in Israel, government-supported behavior in nearby countries. I suggest a name change for this article, because we need a more general article which describes the activity throughout the Middle East - or wherever else it goes on.

Such a larger article would clarify when and where modesty patrolling has been officially sanctioned, merely tolerated, or outlawed. --Uncle Ed (talk) 04:28, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The word 'patrol' implies official sanction. Also, this sort of thing is not limited to Israel. This happens in Iran [1] and possibly Egypt [2] as well. --Auric (talk) 13:50, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is also prevalent in India. I came to this Wikipedia article by looking up "moral policing," which I encountered in a news story about Hindutva.

Karnataka polls: Hindutva lab blows up | Deccan Chronicle - "In addition to the infighting and corruption charges against BJP leaders, incidents like *moral policing* and the attacks on minorities largely contributed to the losses suffered by the saffron party in the coastal region." (my emphasis) - [3]

I agree with the foregoing. I first encountered the term "moral policing" in many articles in the Indian press. this Wikipedia article gives the mistaken impression that the practice is limited to Israel. Clocke (talk) 18:28, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that we should generalize. Particularly the assertion from Uncle Ed that their surrounding countries in the middle east that have the government supporting such activities. There should also be a small description of the Code of Jewish Law pertaining to this topic, since these groups generally follow that code. Caseeart (talk) 01:25, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
