Based on extensive interviews with forty women working as
prostitutes, Red Light, Blue Light examines a variety of personal
developmental experiences and socio-situational factors that can
combine to make prostitution neither an inevitable nor inescapable
circumstance but a rational occupational choice. This book attempts
to analyze why women enter the world of prostitution, how the
skills and values of the business are transmitted and how the
individuals themselves subjectively define, perceive and
rationalise their activity. As opposed to the traditional
stereotypical depiction of prostitutes as hopeless, downtrodden
victims of male exploitation living lives of poverty, misery and
wretchedness, the picture that emerges in this study is of an
independent occupational group organizing and controlling the
business in which they work. The book also presents a profile of
clients of prostitutes and discusses the role of the police.
Written in accessible style, the resulting monograph presents a
fascinating, unique and comprehensive account of street
prostitution in a northern city.
