Title: International approaches to prostitution
Description: "What is to be done about prostitution? Is it work or is it violence? Are women who are involved in prostitution offenders or victims? Is prostitution a private or a political issue? The answers to these questions vary depending on many factors, including where in the world you live." "International approaches to prostitution provides a valuable, detailed international comparison of the laws, policies and interventions in nine countries across Europe and Asia (England and Wales, France, Sweden, Moldova, India, Pakistan, Thailand and Taiwan). The countries were chosen because of their contrasting social policy and legislative frameworks." "Aimed at a wide audience of students, academics, policy makers and practitioners, this book makes an important contribution to academic and policy debates in the fields of criminology, law, social policy, women's studies, sociology, politics and international relations."--BOOK JACKET.
