This book draws on the voices of sex workers and their clients to
critically assess the criminalization of prostitution in favour of
decriminalization. It does so by contrasting their voices with the
claims made by prohibitionists: those advocating the prohibition of
prostitution or, at least, the prohibition of the purchase of
sexual services, and notes scholarly research that gives context to
those accounts and claims. Each chapter is dedicated to a
particular issue which is given currency in academic and public
debates on sex work. The first part of each chapter reviews the
state of research and publicly-aired contentions and the second
part compares sex workers' voices with claims from prohibitionists.
It highlights the gap between what many sex workers have to say
about themselves and what theorizing prohibitionists say about all
prostitution. It argues that there is often a striking contrast in
attitude, perspective, interpretation and valuation. This books
speaks primarily to prohibitionist thinking and sex work
stereotyping and, secondarily, to the debate on decriminalization
of sex work.
