More than 15 years have passed since the law regarding sex workers
in New Zealand has changed. As a model it has been endorsed as best
practice by international organisations, leading scholars and sex
worker-led organisations. Yet in some corners, speculation is
ongoing regarding its impacts on the ground. Written by an
international group of experts, this groundbreaking collection
provides the much needed in-depth research into how
decriminalisation is playing out in sex workers' lives and how
different groups of sex workers are experiencing it, while
uncovering the challenges and tensions that remain to be negotiated
in this field. Using the evidence from New Zealand, it makes an
invaluable contribution to the international debates regarding sex
work laws and the global struggle to realise sex workers' rights.

New Zealand was the first country in the world to decriminalize all
sectors of sex work. Previous criminal or civil laws governing sex
work and related offenses were revoked in 2003 and sex workers
became subject to the same controls and regulations as any other
occupational group. This book presents an example of radical legal
reform in an area of current policy debate and pushes forward the
policy and legal debate for an area undergoing reform in many
countries. It provides an in-depth look at New Zealand's experience
of decriminalization and provides first hand views on and
experience with this policy from the point of view of those
involved in the sex industry, as well as people involved in
developing, implementing, researching, and reviewing the policies.
The book makes valuable comparisons on pre- and
post-decriminalization.
