Notes Subsection 1
|
A
brilliant assessment of the prostitution laws
and the need to decriminalize consenting adult
commercial sex. This was written before the
porn case was heard before the California
courts- which decriminalized porn but left
prostitutes as outlaws.

“This
Article argues that: 1) criminal sanctions
against people who offer sex for money should
be repealed, 2) legal remedies and programs to
protect commercial sex workers from violence,
rape, disease, exploitation, coercion and
abuse should be enhanced...”

Notes Subsection 3
|
This trio
of articles regarding the laws on prostitution
was the basis of a report entitled “The
Challenge of Crime in a Free Society- What to
do About Prostitution.” Very good for a
foundation in why prostitution should not be
against the law for consenting adults.

Comments/
Notes Subsection 4
|
This
article will be published in the September 2010
National Lawyers Guild Review. It considers
policy arguments supporting the
decriminalization of prostitution, including
how (a) criminalization marginalizes
prostitutes, (b) criminalization infringes
autonomy, (c) enforcement is not cost
effective, (d) enforcement techniques
encourage abuse, and (e) decriminalization
promotes the public health, safety, and
welfare

are putting prostitutes’ lives in danger: It
is impossible to stop sex being sold on the

to put prostitutes of any age behind bars...
they get raped, usually by the guards)

Comments/
Notes
|
These
articles reflect the arbitrary nature of law
enforcement, the problems with criminalization
which disallow sex workers from reporting
violence against them and the actual violence
against them from their clients. The Modesto
Bee reported that the cops used the
‘possessing the intent to commit prostitution’
law to arrest 7 women, but allowed the clients
to leave without being arrested or even
cited... how does this protect women from
exploitation?????
