STUDENT FAQ


"I am in a debate class (or writing a paper) about the legalization (or decriminalization) of prostitution. How can I get information?"



  • First go to a report from The San Francisco Task Force on Prostitution, and read the Executive Summary and Summary of Recommendations (and you can skim or read the entire report.)


    The majority of prostitution in the US and most places is not street prostitution-- most prostitution is hidden, indoors. What people in the US think of when they think of prostitution, is on the street, however this is because street prostitution is the most visible.

  • Next, refer to the a piece about the definitions and meanings of decriminalization or legalization of prostitution

  • This site has arguments on both sides. http://prostitution.procon.org/

  • Next, review the statistics and apply some to your argument.

  • A list of books available from Amazon.com is here. I review each book. Order one! They arrive soon. Make sure the book is still in print, ofcourse.

  • Perhaps there is room in your report for an example of model legislation. This would be quite helpful as it helps people envision a decriminalized system.
