Prostitution has become an extremely topical issue in recent years
and attention has focused both on the situation of female
prostitutes and the adequacy of existing forms of regulation.
Prostitution, Politics and Policy brings together the main debates
and issues associated with prostitution in order to examine the
range of policy options that are available. Governments in
different parts of the world have been struggling to develop
constructive policies to deal with prostitution - as, for example,
the British Home Office recently instigated a GBP1.5 million
programme to help address the perceived problems of prostitution.In
the context of this struggle, and amidst the publication of various
policy documents, Prostitution, Politics and Policy develops a
fresh approach to understanding this issue, while presenting a
range of what are seen as progressive and radical policy proposals.
Much of the debate around prostitution has been polarised between
liberals - who want prostitution decriminalised, normalised and
humanised - and conservatives - who have argued that prostitution
should be abolished. But, drawing on wide range of international
literature, and providing an overview that is both accessible to
students and relevant to policy makers and practitioners, in this
book Roger Matthews proposes a form of radical realism that is
irreducible to either of these two positions.
