From the Paper
"From those early references we can believe that societies beliefs about the rights of children were considerably different than our own. In fact, the only children that were held in any regard were the legal sons of citizens and aristocrats. Free men living at the brink of poverty often sold their excess children in prostitution. In Ancient Greece, excess female babies were abandoned and then usually collected by prostitutes and pimps so they could be trained into the life as early as possible."

Abstract
This essay makes a case for legalizing prostitution. It argues that women generally receive a greater level of respect and acceptance for their profession in countries where prostitution is legal. They also receive more protection from routine police abuse, and get better medical care. However, the very nature of the profession means that the legalization of prostitution still comes with some stigmas and problems continue to proliferate even where it is legal. This essay still makes a claim for the legalization of prostitution, which, in spite of the problems that continue to be associated with it, tends to offer a safer service both for the individuals in the profession, and for their clientele. .

Abstract
This paper explains conservative opposition to legalizing prostitution and liberal feminist acceptance of de-criminalization. The paper describes the way in which prostitution has changed since the 1980s arrival of the crack cocaine culture in North American cities and the 1990s rise of global trafficking in women. The paper makes reference to countries having changed prostitution laws towards new criminalization or stiffer penalties and its successes.
From the Paper
"Debate on Prostitution in Canada. Introductory Discussion The last 30 years has seen considerable debate on prostitution towards sometimes opposing feminist views, in contrast with a conservative rejection of prostitution. Canada and the United States have inherited law from the United Kingdom that criminalized the prostitute as opposed to her client, as has drawn automatic criticism from feminists but not from social conservatives. This paper attempts to explore policy options according to conservative, liberal feminist and radical feminist views, towards a conclusion greatly supporting the radical feminist rejection of de-criminalization. One sees that the reality of prostitution has undergone two sets of changes since the early 1980s, towards a situation in which stiffer laws are probably warranted."

Abstract
The writer looks at three books that study prostitution in order to give a solid background knowledge of the history of prostitution. The paper then consolidates the information to discover the underlying reasons for prostitution and how it fits in with the societal fabric of which it is a part.
From the Paper
"With the rise of Christianity came a harsher view of sexuality, which reflected in the way prostitutes were viewed. Many church leaders saw it as a necessary evil to protect and preserve marriage, and they sought to reform not condemn these women. Much of this had to do with the Bible character of Mary Magdalene. She was most likely a ?streetwalker? before she met Jesus, and was reformed through her love of God. It is also important to note that she was the most significant woman in Christian tradition, aside from the Virgin Mary. This says something of the dichotomy that had already become entrenched in the treatment of women, the virgin (good woman) and the whore (bad woman), a theme that you can find across cultures and time. The ideal women were seen as sexless virgins by the Church fathers, wives and mothers barely tolerated, and prostitutes pitied and loathed (p.72)."

The Detrimental Effects of Legalizing Prostitution, 2007.
An examination of the disadvantages of legalizing prostitution.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the detrimental effects of legalizing prostitution, and explains why sanctioning and punitive options are much more effective than creating a legal, economic prostitution market. The writer points out how the legalization of prostitution would only serve to promote the sex industry and provide it economic and political power. The writer strongly asserts that one of the most important issues that many advocates of legalized prostitution overlook is the promotion of child prostitution. The writer also believes that human rights and health issues, in addition to the moral conflict that surrounds prostitution, should be the main reasons for not legalizing prostitution.
From the Paper
"Similar to the ethical debate for the legalization of narcotics and marijuana, prostitution invokes moral and social conflicts unlike any other issue. Prostitution is one of the oldest female occupations in the history of the world, and the sale of sex and the female body has always been a hotbed of debate. With the growing influence of the adult entertainment industry, governments are running out of regulatory options. Many government officials are forced to look at the option of legalizing prostitution, in an effort to economize the market and provide legal jobs for women. The argument for legalization stems from the theory of decriminalization, rather than the government intervening with morality on its coattails."

Abstract
This paper discusses the culture of prostitution in Thailand and the failure of the officials there to prosecute or enforce the law with regards to prostitution.

Economics, Gender Politics, and Prostitution
Devastating Effects on Thai Culture
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Prostitution in Thailand is semi-legal at present, with many people tolerating it and officials not prosecuting or enforcing the law regarding it. There are even some voices within Thailand that have called for an official recognition of prostitution so the sex tourism industry can be carried out in an openly legal manner. However, according to the arguments reviewed here, prostitution causes problems within the society by limiting the choices of women and child. Therefore, the problems of prostitution are believed to outweigh the benefits according to this analysis."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that prostitutes who worked on the streets have historically been controlled and regulated by law. The writer discusses that prior to World War I, under English or American law, however, even though prostitution did not constitute a legal offense in either English or American common law, prostitution was routinely regulated as vagrancy. The writer points out that some people who do not understand how prostitution works may consider prostitution to be a "victim-less crime" and note a minute percentage who may prostitute themselves by choice. The writer concludes that for most, however, their involvement is tragic.
Paper includes approximately 20 additional pages of researched information.

Bibliography
From the Paper
"In China, prostitution has survived more than 2,000 years in Chinese society, despite social and economic systems' changes, laws, and societal stances about marriage, women and sex. Official sanctions regarding prostitution, as well as, the definition of prostitution have changed, reflecting different dynasty's contexts. During the 1950s, the Communist government exterminated the "sex-for-sale" business in China by implementing strong sanctions against prostitution rings' kingpins and pimps. At the same time, vigorous efforts were made to rehabilitate former prostitutes and vices such as prostitution were not visible in China from the 1950s to the 1970s. During the 1980s, however, prostitution surfaced again."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although prostitution is often referred to as the world's oldest profession, it is not so much a profession as a job of last resort for marginalized, poor women. The author argues that it needs to be recognized that prostitutes are workers like everyone else and should enjoy the same rights and protections. The paper stresses that, most importantly, prostitutes must not be further victimized by punitive legislation. The author points out that, since the prostitution industry will not go away, society should stop wasting tax dollars on trying to forcibly eliminate it. The paper recommends that steps should be taken to make life easier for these sex workers by such actions as providing health care.

From the Paper
"Since the 1970s, prostitution and related crimes have been totally illegal in the USA (except in thirteen counties in Nevada). The legal definitions of prostitution that are used vary, but most define prostitution as an exchange of money for sex. There are also laws against pandering and procuring, which are directed at people such as pimps. The legal definition of pimping is usually living off the earnings of a prostitute. This is usually totally illegal. All of these laws totally ignore the fact that prostitution is often not a choice."

Prostitution, 2002.

Abstract
This paper puts forward the argument that prostitution should be legalized. It examines how up until now, banning prostitution has not only failed to eradicate the trade, but has transformed the trade into a seedy world of criminals, pimps, and disease-ridden prostitutes contributing to the health risks of society. It looks at the advantages of its legalization such as the savings by the government of a tremendous amount of time and money in their attempts to enforce prostitution laws which could be diverted to more serious crimes, such as homicides and how in a regulated setting, the government can also benefit from the taxes it collects from the prostitutes and the brothels. Most importantly, it brings the trade of the prostitution into the open, freeing it from the domination of criminals who govern the underground world.
From the Paper
"Legalization of the prostitution industry will give the authority the upper hand to regulate it, thus issuing brothels licenses and guidelines, while eliminating undesirable elements. By implementing these laws, the government will be protecting the well-being of prostitutes, customers and society. Holland provides a good example with the legalisation of its prostitution industry. Under the regulations erected for this industry, licenses are issued to brothel owners who have registered their workers and complied with strict safety standards. The brothel owners are subjected to police screening, Those who employ under-age prostitutes or illegal immigrants risk being arrested by the authorities (Sissons, 1999, p. 27)."

Prostitution and the Social Order, 2002.
A discussion on prostitution as a societal institution and its injurious effect on women.

Abstract
Prostitution is the story of the sexual violence against, and the domination of, women. It is true that many prostitutes appear to have "chosen" this line of work. The women who think they have "chosen" to be prostitutes have not really chosen anything, since the social structure of society has already made the choice for them without them knowing it. Secondly, their action reinforces an institution that does injury to women. Prostitution is female sexual slavery, and it does not exist simply within the parameters of prostitution in and of itself. It is vital to point out that societal structures and family arrangements create institutions which set the foundation for the sexual exploitation of women. The thesis of this essay argues that prostitution is a violation of women and that it is rooted in our social institutions.

Prostitution and Human Trafficking, 2008.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that tackling the issue of human trafficking and prostitution in Europe is a difficult one because the information available is rarely comprehensive or complete. The writer points out that prostitution is, for the most part, an underground economy, which is harder to collect statistical information about, and illegal immigrant prostitution is an even murkier research landscape. This paper attempts to deconstruct arguments made about human trafficking and prostitution in Europe. Sources used are academic texts and journals, as well as some more mainstream content. This paper imparts some idea as to how awkwardly large the question is, as well as the challenges that researchers will face when collecting data and suggesting new policies that might ease the suffering of women caught up in the vicious circles of immigrant prostitution in Europe.
From the Paper
"Bort believes that it is important to discuss the existing correlations will help people discern how the connection of crime and illegal immigration is forged by poverty. He supports this view by discussing the issues surrounding the quality of life at two sides of a border where one nation enjoys a higher standard of living than the other, with the obvious point that the tendency is for women to be shipped west from less affluent eastern countries. Ultimately, he points to financial despair and disparity, along with cloudy ideas about border policy as being primary sources of the existing problem. The evidence he presents sounds plausible, but it is all cited as secondary sources, with little hard data for the reader to digest. Though the sources are from respectable government and academic institutions, there are no hard numbers crunched in Bort's report."

Abstract
The paper explains that nearly two-thirds of all American youth try an illegal drug before they finish high school. The writer states that the juveniles most frequently driven to prostitution are young girls trying to escape abusive situations. The writer reviews literature written on the topics of juvenile drug abuse and prostitution. The writer suggests that more research needs to be done regarding these teenage issues and details specific topics for that research. The paper expresses the importance of making contacts by handing out literature to the public. In conclusion, the writer suggests outreach programs in which the emphasis lies not only on knowledge about safer drug use and safer sex but also on attitude, social standards and self-efficacy.

From the Paper
"Juveniles are most frequently driven to prostitution in order to escape abusive situations. These young girls feel they have no choice. In addition, laws designed to protect children from sexual abuse are not applied to juvenile prostitutes. The following case history suggests that a number of juveniles engaged in prostitution grew up in abusive and/or neglectful homes, a fragile self esteem and limited resources lead some girls believe they had no other choice but to enter the world of prostitution. "Repeatedly myths and illusions about prostitution are built on misinformation and fantasy of sexuality that are promoted through movies, TV, video tapes and printed materials including pornography. These may entice naive young teens into prostitution through false promises of glamour and riches. In reality, juvenile prostitutes suffer pain humiliation and degradation at the hands of their pimps and customers. They are susceptible to sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. Most are controlled by pimps who care first about how much money they get. Kids involved in prostitution frequently experience beatings, sado-masochistic treatment, and worse."

Abstract
This paper analyses the institution of prostitution. It quotes many sources, including the Bible and comments on them. Moreover, it studies prostitution from a man's point of view as well as a woman's. Prostitution's existence poses many questions of deep philosophical import. The paper describes the many ramifications of prostitution upon society. In conclusion, the paper states that prostitution is a reality and society must learn too accept it.
From the Paper
"Prostitution has long been called the oldest profession known to man. It has been philosophized about, debated, exalted and denied throughout recorded history. Unfortunately, a majority of that history has been written by men, and from their standing on the issue. It is hard to truthfully trace back a feminist critique on the subject past the musings of the romantic period and teachers such as Mary Wollenscraft. There are glimpses, of course. It seems that during the same period that the first books of the Bible were being written, feminine culture in the region had distinctly different views on the subject than those of the men. And other stories come to us from Greece of a race of women who forswore males altogether! It is altogether certain, though, that prostitution has been a topic of much debate among recent feminist thinkers, both male and female, and that its existence poses many questions of deep philosophical import. The ramifications of this one issue touch upon the most basic concepts of our world. They raise divisions on the ideal natures of God, of society, of freedom and self-expression, and of the purpose of the female sex."

The Legalization of Prostitution, 2008.
This paper discusses the negative social repercussions of legalizing prostitution within the United States.
1,965 words (approx. 7.9 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the premise of the argument against legalizing prostitution within the United States rests on the devaluation of female identity within society as women will be promoted as mere objects of male sexual aggression and patriarchal institutions. The author points out that the basis for arguing against the legalization of prostitution revolves around the issue of what is moral in society in regards to the law. The paper relates that proponents for legalization often cite ideological reasons for allowing a regulatory governing body to control underage victimization of female prostitutes; however, this will not end the cycles of abuse. The paper concludes that a more matriarchal construct to regulation, which allows women of a mature age to freely choose their profession, might be realistic, but the current patriarchic governments would not provide these regulations within the framework of legalization.
From the Paper
"This point of view from opposing countries defines how women in government act as agents that defy the premise that legalization will only help the condition of female prostitutes that are supposedly being supported by the government. The reality of German prostitution is that government is turning away from regulation, as can be seen in the sex booths provided at the World Cup by the German government. If this is a form of regulation, then the often victimized and kidnapped women from foreign countries being allowed at German events is a premonition of what conditions might be like for lower class and disenfranchised women in the United States."

Abstract
The paper shows how prostitution has existed for as long as history has been recorded and beyond. It defines the term prostitution and shows its history from the time of the Bible through the Middle Ages and finally the history of prostitution in the United States. The paper also examines prostitution in America today.
From the Paper
"During the 1800s, America was expanding. Men were often alone on the frontier for months to even years at a time. When women finally arrived, many of them were part of a family, but many more came seeing an opportunity. Prostitution now spanned three major subcultures. Women in it strictly for the money made up five to ten percent of the first subculture. The second subculture was male; 'sporting males' were encouraged to hire prostitutes. The third subculture was organized brothels. Men could find hundreds of brothels in St. Louis, Philadelphia, and Chicago, and as the Westward Expansion carried people further west, you could find them in all the "rip-roaring" mining towns of the west too, like San Francisco, Denver, Virginia City, and Sacramento."
