Abstract:
AbstractThis article examines the treatment of prostitution in several genres of Ottoman legal writing—manuals and commentaries of Islamic jurisprudence,fatwās(legal opinions) andḳānūnnāmes(Sultanic legislation)—and looks at how prostitution was dealt with in practice by the empire’s sharīʿa courts and by its provincial executive authorities. The article uses prostitution as a case study to investigate the relationships between the different genres of legal writing and between normative law and legal practice. It also throws light on various manifestations of prostitution in the Ottoman provinces of Egypt and Syria between the mid-sixteenth and mid-eighteenth centuries.

Abstract:
The Nordic model is a piece of legislation, passed in Sweden in 1999, which criminalizes the purchase of sex. In Canada, exchanging sex for money is not illegal, but virtually every activity associated with prostitution is. Following the Ontario Court of Appeal’s decision in Bedford v. Canada, the question of what type of legislation is most appropriate with respect to prostitution has become even more important. This article begins by evaluating the degree of success (or lack thereof) of the Nordic model. The article then goes on to determine whether legislation similar to the Nordic model would be constitutional if adopted in Canada.

Abstract:
Abstract Prostitution in Indonesia has been around since the Dutch colonial era and later expanded in Indonesia and even to various regions. Prostitution is a deed by a person or group of people whose purpose is to trade someone or some person to benefit. Various ways and motives were done by the perpetrators of prostitution so as not to smell their crimes by law enforcement officers. Law No. 1 of 1946 on criminal Law regulation or the Book of Criminal Law is the answer to the issue of prostitution. However, with the rapid development of technology allows the variation of prostitution to be done in a way that is easier through online media. The existence of the chapters in Law No. 1 of 1946 concerning criminal law regulation are then no longer felt and do not have relevance to the various crimes of prostitution that are increasingly modern today. The emphasis was made in Article 296 of Jo. Article 506 of the criminal CODE is to punish those who become pimps/brokers/service providers therefore women commercial sex workers are as victims. However, with the development of modern prostitution which provides widespread access not only to pimps/brokers/service providers as perpetrators, but also commercial sex workers as actors because they also sell themselves to the willingness and not the coercion of others. On the basis of this, more legislation was formed such as Act No. 11 year 2008 about ITE, Law No. 21 of 2007 on the Eradication of criminal trafficking in persons and some other relevant laws and regulations. The results of this study are elaborated in the formulation of chapters 296 and 506 of the CRIMINAL code and are associated with more specific legislation and outlining the barriers occurring in the law enforcement of online prostitution and the efforts that can be made to eradicate criminal acts of prostitution online.

Abstract:
Prostitution activities that occur in society are not only caused by pimps and sex peddlers, but are also closely related to users of prostitution services. The absence of regulations that can ensnare perpetrators of prostitution practices, especially users of prostitution services, shows the government's inconsistency in combating prostitution practices. There are two problems in this study, namely, first, how is the regulation of punishment for perpetrators of criminal acts of prostitution in Indonesian positive law and second, how is the imposition of criminal sanctions against perpetrators of criminal acts of prostitution, especially users of prostitution services through complaint offenses in the Criminal Code. This study uses normative research conducted through an assessment of the legislation and legal concepts. The approach in this study uses a legal concept approach, and a statutory approach. Based on various explanations of articles in Indonesian positive law, it is not at all clear and implicit that there are articles that regulate criminal sanctions against users of prostitution services. With the absence of legal norms related to criminal sanctions for users of prostitution services, other legal remedies can be taken to ensnare users of prostitution services through the application of a complaint offense with the alleged crime of adultery as regulated in Article 284 of the Criminal Code.

Abstract:
Prostitution is still a complicated problem worldwide including in Western Australia. It is estimated that there are 1700 sex workers and 38 identified brothels in Western Australia1 and prostitution legislation is still an ongoing debatable issue in the state. There has been a significant change in prostitution laws and enforcement practices, which is due to the rising worldwide problem of sex trafficking and its relation to prostitution.2 The Liberal or National Government of Western Australia planned to introduce the prostitution legislation reforms, which were intended to make brothels to be the “only viable” and legal workplaces for sex workers, to make sex workers have no opportunity to work privately in residential areas and to force them to work for the third parties or to relocate them to industrial areas.3 It would be implemented through a brothel licensing policy, which in turn will make non brothel-based sex workers considered illegal. Brothels are indeed more organized and easier to provide health care and education than the street4 and based on research in the Norwegian capital5, an existing law can make people have more negative attitudes towards buying sex. However, particular form of regulation and practice may result in worse situations and can undermine the health and well-being of sex workers. This article will discuss in details why the prostitution legislation reforms released by The Liberal/National Government in WA should not be fully supported and what we can learn based on the context of Indonesia

Abstract:
One of the rational efforts used to tackle online prostitution activity is with the approach of criminal law through criminal law formulation as a concrete form of criminal responsibility to the perpetrators of online prostitution. There is no provision that regulates the criminal to the users of online prostitution services because of the maximum prevention of online prostitution itself. If there is no national regulation governing the matter, online prostitution users will feel secure and remain free to buy services for their satisfaction alone, while it is contrary to various aspects of norms in the ethical norms of society. Therefore a criminal law is required, related to criminal liability for users of online prostitution services. The method used is normative juridical, ie by examining or analyzing secondary data using basic materials, with legal sense as a set of rules or positive norms in the legislation system that regulates prostitution online, as well as using secondary legal materials, and tertiary. So this research is library research (library research), that is research to secondary data. Thus, the juridical-normative approach in the study is used to analyze issues relating to criminal law reform regarding criminal liability to online prostitution actor.

Abstract:
This paper examines prostitution which in practice has always been identified with women. Prostitution is a social problem that is passed down from time to time with various modes that always develop along with the development of lifestyle and technology. The focus of this study is how is the normative juridical review of the issue of women and prostitution? The method used in this article is the library study method. Through a normative juridical approach, the author will examine the issue of prostitution based on the main legal material, namely to see the arguments originating from the Qur'an and hadith, as well as legislation in force in Indonesia. In the final section the author tries to present a solution to stem the practice of prostitution. In this study it was found that prostitution in Indonesia has existed since the kingdom era, continued during the Dutch and Japanese colonies. Prostitution is a crime that is contrary to Islamic law and legislation in Indonesia. Surat an-Nur (24): 30-33 strictly prohibits the practice of prostitution. This ban applies to anyone not only to women who are prostitutes. Juridically normative legislation in Indonesia concerning prostitution is article 296, 506 of the KUHP, UU No. 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions, UU No. 44 of 2008 concerning Pornography, UU No. 21 of 2007 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts on Trafficking in Persons and UU No. 23 of 2003 concerning Child Protection. Efforts to stem the main prostitution began with the family. Optimizing the role of parents -both father, mother and teacher as an extension of their parents' hand- can be a solution in an effort to improve children's moral resilience, which in turn can stem a variety of negative behaviors that conflict with norms and religion, including prostitution.

Abstract:
Prostitution comes from the word prostitutio which means things to place, confront, offer. There are also other articles selling, peddling, but generally interpreted as surrender to many people by getting a reward for fulfilling that section of the person. Prostitution or prostitution is a serious problem and needs improvements that need to improve society, this disease develops very rapidly in the community. In addition to the social forms of social norms, prostitution is also a form of immorality in any religion that is not permitted and rejected. Although prostitution is issued in religion or law, many of these prostitution practices occur in Indonesia. Prostitution is a lucrative and promising business place for so many people to believe in their pride. It is necessary to establish a new criminal law legislation to provide legal attention to the imposition of sanctions aimed at commercial sex workers and users of services. Because the criminal law currently in force in Indonesia is considered not in accordance with the current state of Indonesia.

Abstract:
The article analyzes the specifics of criminal law responsibility for involving minors in sexual services in the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 20th century. Gaps in the criminal legislation of the Russian Empire that existed in this area are identified. It was established that in the Russian Empire at the beginning of the twentieth century the institution of criminal law counteracted the organization of prostitution with the participation of minors and their involvement in prostitution remained limited. The legislator did not explain the concepts that were essential for the correct application of the norms. Despite the urgent need for the 1903 draft to take effect, it remained declarative. Only in 1909, the legislator was able to develop comprehensive measures of criminal law counteraction to the organization of prostitution with the participation of minors and their involvement in prostitution.

Abstract:

This mini-thesis seeks to provide a substantiation for the need for a new legal framework for South Africa in order to address prostitution. It will argue that the current legal framework has failed in its desired aims and in addressing prostitution effectively. This mini-thesis critically analyses the underlying reasons for prostitution in South Africa and discovers that it is influenced by a myriad of interrelated factors. The current level of poverty and the prevailing socio-economic paradigm in South Africa have contributed to its complex nature. The demand for prostitution acts as a catalyst for both the further exploitation of prostitutes and women, while making them vulnerable to sexually transmitted diseases. I establish that criminalisation alone is not sufficient to address prostitution, especially given the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Abstract:
Child sex tourism is tourism organised with the primary purpose of facilitating a commercial sexual relationship with a child. It involves a segment of the local child sex industry that is directly connected to both an international and domestic tourist market. The increase of tourism has brought with it complications in that tourism is being used as a means for sex tourists to initiate contact with children. Aside from child sex tourists who are paedophiles, there are those who engage in the opportunistic exploitation of children while travelling on business or for other reasons. There are a number of social and economic factors leading to child sex tourism and the effect is that child victims are exposed to immediate harm, irreversible damage and even death. As South Africa's tourism industry expands into one of the country’s top earners of foreign currency, it is unfortunate to note that its child sex tourist trade is also on the increase. Reports show that sex tours are as easily organised as wine route tours in Cape Town. Commercial sexual exploitation of children is prevalent in South Africa and has become more organised in recent years. A comprehensive response to the problem is essential to ensure that South Africa does not become a “safe haven” for child sex tourists. Effective laws at home and the extraterritorial application of these laws to prosecute South African nationals for crimes committed abroad are imperative. Significant steps are being taken both nationally and internationally to target child sex tourism. South Africa has ratified several international instruments on children’s rights, trafficking in persons, child labour, and discrimination against women and young girls, all of which relate to child sex tourism. In doing so, South Africa has made an international commitment to uphold the provisions of these instruments and give effect to them. South Africa is therefore under an international obligation to create the necessary structures and apply mechanisms and resources to combat child sex tourism.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis reports on an empirically based study of the manner in which Victorian Magistrates Courts constructed occupational health and safety (OHS) issues when hearing prosecutions for offences under the Industrial Safety, Health and Welfare Act 1981 (the ISHWA) and the Occupational Health and Safety Act 1985 (OHSA) from 1983 to 1991. These statutes established OHS standards for employers and other relevant parties. The State government enforced these standards through an OHS inspectorate which had a range of enforcement powers, including prosecution. After outlining the historical development of Victoria’s OHS legislation, the magistracy’s historical role in its enforcement, and the development of an enforcement culture in which inspectors viewed prosecution as a last resort, the study shows how the key provisions of the ISHWA and OHSA required occupiers of workplaces and employers to provide and maintain safe systems of work, including the guarding of dangerous machinery. Using a wide range of empirical research methods and legal materials, it shows how the enforcement policies, procedures and practices of the inspectorate heavily slanted inspectors workplace investigations and hence prosecutions towards a restricted and often superficial, analysis of incidents (or “events”) most of which involved injuries on machinery. There was evidence, however, that after the establishment of the Central Investigation Unit in 1989 cases were more thoroughly investigated and prosecuted. From 1990 the majority of prosecutions were taken under the employer’s general duty provisions, and by 1991 there was evidence that prosecutions were focusing on matters other than machinery guarding.

Abstract:
The issue of the criminalization of prostitution raises all kinds of legal questions, especially in South African law. Governments have adopted different positions regarding prostitution. South Africa has tried, by means of law, to crack down on prostitution. This dissertation discusses the question of prostitution as provided by s 20 (1)(aA) of the Sexual Offences Act 23 of 1957. Whether criminalization is the indicated way to lessen or eliminate prostitution determines the focus of the discussion. It seemed necessary to understand the topic, to present the most important systems for addressing prostitution, the South African model and its evaluation. A legal comparison is presented. The discussion looks also at international instruments, which place the emphasis on forced prostitution. There is, in South African law, a pressing need to enact laws in accordance with the Bill of Rights, and with the international norms to which South Africa is party.

Abstract:
This dissertation serves as an analysis of the current legislation criminalising both prostitution and homosexuality. The object of the dissertation is to explore the possibility of decriminalisation in the aforementioned areas of the criminal law, on the premise that the criminalisation of the aforementioned areas is not justified. The dissertation provides an overview of the historical progression of the law in relation to the sexual offences of homosexuality and prostitution, and examines the legislative trends that emerge within the historical context. The law and its relation to morality is explored, with the objective of examining whether morality can serve as a sufficient justification for criminalisation of conduct. Additionally the legislative justification for criminalising both homosexuality and prostitution is explored in order to determine the legitimacy thereof The current legislation is defined and examined. The Constitution of South Africa, and specifically the Bill of Rights is investigated to determine whether there can be any foundation therein for an appeal for decriminalisation. Finally, an examination of legislative alternatives is documented. The conclusion is then derived therefrom. The purpose of the dissertation is to examine the decriminalisation of victimless sexual offences, and the results of the research demonstrate favourably towards such an initiative.

Abstract:
While historians have examined how prostitution and promiscuity were frequently conflated by social purists and philanthropists in the late Victorian period and early twentieth century, this book examines the persistence of these ideas well into the latter half of the twentieth century. The notion that the respectable, young, working-class woman could be distinguished from the supposedly disreputable and corrupting prostitute produced a highly gendered understanding of urban space. Working-class women, and especially immigrant working-class women, were monitored for signs of apparent moral weakness. Moreover, even as social purity organisations went into decline in the post-war years, their ideas persisted in legislative efforts to control prostitution. Women who worked as prostitutes were increasingly regulated and pushed out of sight into less safe working spaces. As such, it is argued here that the law increasingly mirrored the sort of social purity thinking which considered prostitution to be a form of moral contagion which needed to be eradicated.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the ways in which legislation was implemented by the police and magistrates on a day-to-day basis, and the impact police policies had on the regulation and organisation of prostitution. Rather than there being a ‘crack-down’ on prostitution, as was the case in other cities such as London during this period, in Edinburgh and Glasgow the number of arrests and convictions sharply declined. The chapter uses police, magistrates and prison records to explore these trends further and examine the various reasons behind these patterns, including the wider changes in social attitudes towards prostitution and the importance of police chief constables and police officers in shaping the way that individual men and women were treated under the law. In particular, the importance of the Scottish method of using cautions, a system that relied on distinguishing between ‘amateur prostitutes’ and ‘hardened prostitutes’, will be examined. The first half of the chapter begins by examining the policing of street prostitution and the second half explores the policing of brothels and ‘pimps’.
