"Roth" standard

According to the Roth Standard, as enunciated in Roth v. United States, a work is obscene if:


 * The dominant theme of the material taken as a whole appeals to a prurient interest in sex,
 * The material is patently offensive because it affronts contemporary community standards relating to the description or representation of sexual matters,
 * The material is utterly without redeeming social value.
