There’s a bunch here that keeps saying that prostitution is a VICTIMLESS CRIME. Tell that to the people who live these neighborhoods.
Such arguments are totally divorced from the bitter realities of life as a prostitute and are based on the myth – stubbornly and endlessly hawked by Hollywood – of the glamorous prostitute, such as the one played by Julia Roberts in the 1990 hit movie Pretty Woman. The big money and glamorous lifestyle of the fairy-tale “pretty woman” is hardly the story of the street prostitutes whose pimps force them to service up to 15 men a night. The street prostitutes age rapidly, often ending up drug-addicted, battered, and used up by age 30 or earlier. These victims are living proof that violence is part of the daily grind of the job, with drug and alcohol addiction necessary to endure the assaults and STDs that are a predictable consequence of the “occupation.”
Nor is the “pretty woman” myth the story of the women in brothels – even so-called high-end ones – or of the “call girls” marketing the highly remunerated “girlfriend experience” to businessmen in major cities around the world.
Only leftist proponents have a “pretty woman” view of “sex work” at any level!
Amsterdam found that 80 percent of the prostituted girls and women were there by force. Germany found that 60 percent were foreigners, and Spain discovered that foreigners made up 80 percent of the girls and women, with many of those identified as victims coerced by the gangs and organized crime.

Wives. Children. And sometimes the tarts themselves.
Or the women forced into it.
If they were allowed to advertise on Craigslist, maybe they wouldn't need to be hanging around street corners.
Well it is stupid for the women to have to be on a street corner. Couldn’t they have a website that has phone numbers so the women just go to the home. Safer and cleaner then seeing them all huddled around the street lamp. Law enforcement can be so stupid. We waste more money on rounding up prostitutes then we do on finding murderers and illegals.........priorities in law enforcement sucks.
Legal prostitution is no more a crime than a massage session. Make massage therapy illegal (for whatever reason), it will attract all kinds of criminal activities. Just the same as illegal prostitution...
