[...] As a solution to improve their safety, our press refers to having licensed brothels (as I have done), as well as tolerance zones, but is this what the women want? What would work best for them? Quite a few legal brothels are closing down in Amsterdam for safey reasons, will we also end up with an escalation in trafficking? [...]

James Higham,

Seems to me we should be motivated in this by how to prevent ‘too young’ girls being drafted in, plus those from Eastern Europe. Kill that market and tackle the other issues later.

Legalisation would help that. If prostitution is illegal, it’s much harder to determine that which is taking place between consenting adults, and that which is not. It’s all hidden away and underground

With legalisation, consenting adult prostitutes would get licensed. Those who aren’t licensed would be those people who were not consenting adults, so would be far easier to identify.

It’s by Kirby R. Cundiff who is an Associate Professor of Finance at Northeastern State University. (or at least was in 2004)
