Are sex workers victims, criminals, or just trying to make a
living? Over the last five years, public policy and academic
discourse have moved from criminalization of sex workers to
victim-based understanding, shaped by human trafficking. While most
research focuses on macro-level policies and theories, less is
known about the on-the-ground perspectives of people whose lives
are impacted by sex work, including attorneys, social workers,
police officers, probation officers, and sex workers themselves.
Challenging Perspectives on Street-Based Sex Work brings the voices
of lower-echelon sex workers and those individuals charged with
policy development and enforcement into conversation with one
another. Chapters highlight some of the current approaches to sex
work, such as diversion courts, trafficking task forces, law
enforcement assisted diversion and decriminalization. It also
examines how sex workers navigate seldom-discussed social
phenomenon like gentrification, pregnancy, imperialism, and being
subjects of research. Through dialogue, our authors reveal the
complex reality of engaging in and regulating sex work in the
United States and through American aid abroad. Contributors
