Taking the crime out of sex work - New Zealand sex workers' fight for decriminalisation (Hardcover)

New Zealand was the first country in the world to decriminalize all sectors of sex work. Previous criminal or civil laws governing sex work and related offenses were revoked in 2003 and sex workers became subject to the same controls and regulations as any other occupational group. This book presents an example of radical legal reform in an area of current policy debate and pushes forward the policy and legal debate for an area undergoing reform in many countries. It provides an in-depth look at New Zealand's experience of decriminalization and provides first hand views on and experience with this policy from the point of view of those involved in the sex industry, as well as people involved in developing, implementing, researching, and reviewing the policies. The book makes valuable comparisons on pre- and post-decriminalization.
