Recent years have seen a 'quiet revolution' in the way that the sex
industry is regulated and governed. The consensus around what the
problems of prostitution are has broken down and in its place a
plethora of contradictory themes has emerged. "Regulating sex for
sale" examines the total package of reforms and proposals that have
been introduced in this area since May 2000. Bringing together some
of the most well-known writers, researchers and practitioners in
the field, it provides a detailed analysis and critical reflection
on the processes, assumptions and contradictions shaping the UK's
emerging prostitution policy. What are the unintended consequences
of recent policies and how do they impact on the populations that
they regulate? Do they contain any possibility for radical
intervention and/or new ways of governing prostitution? The book
describes the impact these policies have on indoor sex workers,
street-based sex workers, young people, men or those with drug
misuse issues. It also looks at the assumptions made by policy
makers about the various constituencies affected, including the
communities in which sex work takes place. This is the first book
to address the contradictions in current policy on prostitution in
England and Wales and will be of interest to academics,
postgraduate students and policy makers in criminal justice, as
well as in other areas, including children and young people,
community safety and urban studies.
