While sex work has long been controversial, it has become even more contested over the past decade as laws, policies, and enforcement practices have become more repressive in many nations, partly as a result of the ascendancy of interest groups committed to the total abolition of the sex industry. Legalizing Prostitution maps out the current terrain. Using America as a backdrop, Weitzer draws on extensive field research in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany to illustrate alternatives to American-style criminalization and marginalization of sex workers. These cases are then used to develop a roster of "best practices" that can serve as a model for other nations considering legalization. Legalizing Prostitution provides a theoretically grounded comparative analysis of political dynamics, policy outcomes, and red-light landscapes in nations where prostitution has been legalized and regulated by the government, presenting a rich and novel portrait of the multifaceted world of legal sex for sale"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000458425 650_0 $$aProstitution$$zUnited States. 000458425 650_0 $$aProstitution$$xLaw and legislation. 000458425 650_0 $$aProstitution$$zNetherlands$$vCase studies. 000458425 650_0 $$aProstitution$$zBelgium$$vCase studies. 000458425 650_0 $$aProstitution$$zGermany$$vCase studies. 000458425 655_7 $$aElectronic books.$$2lcsh 000458425 852__ $$bebk 000458425 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=10517469$$zOnline Access 000458425 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:458425$$pGLOBAL_SET 000458425 980__ $$aEBOOK 000458425 980__ $$aBIB 000458425 982__ $$aEbook 000458425 983__ $$aOnline
