This book provides an enthralling narrative of a hate crime approach to the treatment of violence committed against sex workers. The book is an original contribution to the literature on violence and sex work and should be a go-to for those studying and working in this area. Gillian Abel, University of Otago This book is an account of an extraordinary body of work spread over many years. It speaks to those of us committed to carving out law, policy and practice, which can impact positively on the rights and safety of sex workers. It is, undoubtedly, a significant step forward, providing a much needed analysis for so many of us working in this domain. Dame Catherine Healy, New Zealand Prostitutes Collective This book brings together literature, empirical research findings from two projects, and policy analysis to examine how some forces in England have adopted the approach of treating crimes against sex workers as hate crimes. This book identifies some of the benefits and challenges of the hate crime approach to crimes against sex workers, both operationally and for some of the victims of crime. The authors argue that the hate crime approach should not be seen as an alternative to decriminalisation of sex work but can provide a pathway to achieving more sensitive but robust policing of crimes against sex workers. Rosie Campbell OBE is a freelance consultant focused on applied research and third sector leadership.
