Welfare. Affirmative action. Make-work jobs. You don't need to police whores. You just need to stop subsidising them.
Even just 60 years ago the actions of your children were a reflection on you. My grandparents actions were policed by their parents fairly heavily.
With that said... I believe the REASON for that policing was primarily economic. If your daughter had a child with at guy who then bounced... guess who is going to be supporting her? The parents. It's going to be extra hard to find a guy to wife her up and support her ass after that. So in a time of limited resources, having a slut daughter could cost your life savings and take a struggling family under during the depression times.
However, today we have myriad birth controls and abortion available. This drives female behavior today as much as financial gains.

Brothers were certainly policing their sisters. A sister of ill-repute cannot be married to anyone and is a burden to her parents, which means less inheritance to her siblings.
Oh... damn. I should have read your point before typing all that crap myself.
