What is to be done about prostitution? Is it work or is it
violence? Are women involved in prostitution offenders or victims?
Is prostitution a private or a political issue? The answers to
these questions vary depending on many factors, including where in
the world you live. This book provides a valuable, detailed
international comparison of the laws, policies and interventions in
eight countries across Europe (England and Wales, France, Sweden
and Moldova) and Asia (India, Pakistan, Thailand and Taiwan). The
countries were chosen because of their contrasting social policy
and legislative frameworks. Specific topics covered include
national social and historical contexts in relation to
prostitution; legal frameworks - with discussion of existing laws
and policies and debates around legislation and decriminalisation;
key issues faced - particularly relating to reasons for entering
prostitution and analysis of policies and interventions. The case
studies are brought to life by giving voice to the experiences of
women involved in prostitution themselves together with the
personal reflections of the authors. Aimed at a wide audience of
students, academics, policy makers and practitioners, this book
makes an important contribution to academic and policy debates in
the fields of criminology, law, social policy, women's studies,
sociology, politics and international relations.
