Law and policy on prostitution are being debated and changed in many countries around the world. A number of countries have changed their laws and policies on prostitution in the last seven years (the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, New Zealand, and South Korea), and several more governments have proposed change in their prostitution laws (the Czech Republic, Hungary, Ghana, Russian Federation). The different state approaches to prostitution – prohibition, regulation, decriminalization, and abolition – will be defined and described. Central to the debate on law and policy on prostitution is the relationship between sex trafficking and prostitution. All four of these approaches have been implemented in at least one country, and in every case advocates of the change in law predicted a decrease in sex trafficking of women and children into the country as an outcome. This paper will describe the impact of change in prostitution law and policy on prostitution and the sex trafficking of women and children in several countries, including the U.S.

Interdisciplinary View on State Regulation of Prostitution: Issues of Legal Liability and Liberalization2022 •
Objective: To determine the current issues and prospects of legal liability for prostitution and the role of public administrations in its regulation. Methodology: By using the dialectical method, the current issues of prostitution conceptual understanding, types of legal liability for it in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Brunei Darussalam, Western New Guinea, and Ukraine were analyzed. Results: A modern prostitution policy in the countries under consideration requires its official liberalization. The role of public administrations should be constructively changed to provide socially needed programs for systematic health screening and protection of prostitutes, positive ideological and cultural influence on their consciousness, and practical implementation of the legal conceptual framework for their integration in social inclusion. Conclusions: The constructive character of the prostitution policy essence should remove the stigmatization of sex-workers and their activity to provide common social respect to any human as the highest value and potentially constructive element of the present and future.
Based on an inductive methodological approach, this working paper presents a typology of three general prostitution policy models (or regimes), as repressive, restrictive or integrative. The intention of such a tripartite typology is that it can serve as a tool for assessing, evaluating and comparing prostitution policies, even in cases where they seem to contain contradictory or incoherent elements. Besides using the prostitution policy typology for analytical purposes, it can also serve as a tool for developing context-sensitive measures against violence, exploitation and trafficking in human beings in the sex work sector. I also propose that this typology can be applied not only to policies seeking to regulate the sex work sector, but also to other moral domains of regulation, such as drug and alcohol control, gambling, abortion or homosexuality.

Law in action: Local-level prostitution policies and practices and their effects on sex workersThis article comparatively analyses city-based prostitution policies and practices and their effects on sex workers in countries that have adopted a partial criminalization model of intervention towards prostitution – Belgium and Italy. The two case studies selected for this research – the cities of Antwerp (Belgium) and Catania (Italy) – were chosen for their adopted local approach towards prostitution in designated red-light districts (RLDs): whereas prostitution has been collaboratively governed in Antwerp, it has simply been tolerated in Catania. By considering the factors that have led to the development of prostitution policies and practices in these two cities, and their characteristics both within and outside the two cities’ RLDs, this article compares and analyses the effects produced on sex workers across city areas. The study revealed a number of similarities between the two local cases considered: local practices towards sex work in both cities have been shaped by urban ...
