- Description
- Description of the British prostitution policies introduced since May 2000, based on an abolitionist line and a strategy of criminalization. The authors discuss the unintended consequences of these policies. The impacts on indoor and street-based sex workers, young people, men in prostitution and those with drug problems are examined, as well as the assumptions made by policy makers about communities in which sex work takes place.
