From the Paper:

"Stripping for money and escorting are not things that most women (and most men) would consider an ideal way to make a living. Yet, both of these professions are common enough in Canada and both of them often do irreparable harm to their practitioners. The following paper will examine the social deviance of the sex trade and discuss the phenomenon within the context of one of the sociological theories studied in our course work. Specifically, the next several pages will explore the aforementioned sexual deviance within the context of learning theory; time will also be devoted to reviewing how theories can very often create the crime.
