Many critics associate prostitution with violence, but that's mainly because it's illegal. Holland, West Germany, Sweden and Denmark, have the least problems. I imagine there are also fewer cases of criminal activity against customers too. After all, when prostitution is legal, a john is more willing to go to the police if a hooker steals his wallet. Also, where it's less restrictive, there are far fewer problems with disease.
Many people associate prostitution with the dirt and danger of the street.
But really, the simplest, most effective way to get the streetwalkers off the street is to decriminalize prostitution, make them set up their shops in buildings, like tattoo artists and chiropractors, and get monthly or weekly check-ups and health certificates. Then if we tax their practice and let the government make some money off the deal, it's a win-win situation. And that's the situation I see at the Bunnyranch and Kitty's Cathouse. The hookers seem happy. Hoff sets the tone.
