Syfte Syftet med denna studie är att få en förståelse för vad som motiverar kvinnor till att ta sig in i prostitution. Dessutom vill vi ta reda anledningarna till varför de har valt att sig ut ur prostitution samt hur de har gått tillväga. Frågeställningar Vilka är de bakomliggande faktorerna till att kvinnorna valde att prostituerar sig? Hur gick kvinnorna tillväga för att ta sig ur prostitutionen och vad var orsaken till deras uppbrott? Metod Denna studie har utgått från den kvalitativa metoden i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer då vi vill få en djupare förståelse kring respondenternas uppfattning, åsikter och erfarenheter kring prostitution. Teori Studien baseras på tre olika teorier, sociala band, idealtyper samt exitprocessen. Slutsatser En av studiens frågeställningar var att ta reda på de bakomliggande faktorerna till varför unga tjejer väljer att prostituera sig. Slutsatsen visar att unga tjejer som väljer att prostituera sig beror på att individen har haft svår uppväxt, separerade föräldrar, ekonomiska behov samt svag självkänsla. Den andra frågeställningen var att ta reda på hur kvinnorna gick tillväga för att ta sig ur prostitutionen och vad orsaken till deras utbrott var. Det vi kom fram till är att en stark relation till omgivningen har en stor del av deras uppbrott ur prostitutionen. Stöd från terapi har också haft en betydelse för de före detta prostituerade då de lyckats ta sig ut ur sexhandeln med hjälp av terapi.

Prostitution som företeelse engagerar och väcker känslor, både bland individer och offentliga aktörer. I detta arbete belyser vi utvecklingen av samhällets syn på prostitutionen genom att analysera den period då den i Sverige var offentligt reglementerad och kontrollerad, 1859 – 1918. Denna tidsperiod rymmer avgörande skiftningar i offentligsamhällets syn på prostitution, en företeelse som tidigare under historien setts som en allvarlig försyndelse i sig. Reglementeringen infördes som ett smittskyddsprojekt där målet var att hejda spridningen av framför allt syfilis. Reglementeringen kom dock även att präglas av moraliska aspekter innan det, efter förnyade utredningar, konstaterades att den spelat ut sin roll för att hejda den veneriska smittspridningen. Prostitutionen kom då att regleras i andra lagrum. Studiens syfte är att, genom en kvalitativ litteraturstudie, kartlägga vilka lagar, regler och påföljder som omgärdat hanteringen av prostitutionen under den studerade perioden, hur statens och hälso-och sjukvårdens syn på prostitution sett ut och inverkat på lagstiftningen samt hur reglementeringssystemet kan förstås utifrån teorierna om stigma och det ideala offret. Arbetets huvudsakliga slutsatser är att det, i litteraturen, går att återfinna tydliga förändringar i offentligsamhällets attityder mot prostitution under den studerade perioden. I periodens början sågs prostitutionen huvudsakligen som ett sanitärt problem, men kom sedermera alltmer att betraktas som ett socialt. Vidare har vi kunnat påvisa att reglementeringssystemet väl låter sig förstås utifrån Erving Goffmans teori om stigma, men att den prostituerade kvinnans status som offer enligt Nils Christies teori om det ideala offret är mer komplex och mångfacetterad.Prostitution as a phenomenon engages and evokes feelings, both among individuals and public actors. In this work, we illustrate the development of public society's view of prostitution by analysing the period when it was publicly regulated and controlled in Sweden, 1859 – 1918. This period contains crucial shifts in society's view of prostitution, a phenomenon previously in history seen as a serious offence in and of itself. The regulations were introduced as an infection prevention project with the goal to stop the spread primarily of syphilis. However, the regulations also came to be characterised by moral aspects before, after renewed investigations, it was stated that it had played its role in halting the spread of venereal disease and prostitution came to be regulated by other legislation. The purpose of the study is to identify, through a qualitative literature study, what laws, rules and penalties that surrounded the handling of prostitution during the studied period, what the state’s and health care system’s views on prostitution were and how they influenced the legislation and how the regulatory system can be understood based on the theories of stigma and the ideal victim. The essay’s main conclusions are that, in literature, it is possible to identify clear changes in the public society's attitudes towards prostitution during the period studied. At the beginning of the period, prostitution was mainly seen as a sanitary problem, but eventually it became viewed as a more social one. Furthermore, we have been able to demonstrate that the system of regulation can be understood on the basis of Erving Goffman's theory of stigma, but that the status of the female prostitute as victim according to Nils Christie's theory of the ideal victim is more complex and multifaceted.

Syftet med mitt arbete har varit att fördjupa förståelsen av hur en del av den dolda prostitutionen kan gestalta sig, samt att ”ge röst” åt en grupp kvinnor som prostituerar sig och därmed också problematisera bilden av ”den prostituerade kvinnan” samt den heterosexuella normen. Jag har använt mig av en kvalitativ metod baserad på intervjuer med sex kvinnor som alla är verksamma inom prostitution på en och samma klinik i Köpenhamn. I analysen av kvinnornas berättelser använder jag mig av en jämförelse mellan två perspektiv på prostitution, dels ett inifrånperspektiv vilket representeras av kvinnorna själva, dels av ett utifrånperspektiv representerat av framförallt tidigare svensk forskning kring prostitution. I min undersökning och mina tolkningar av kvinnornas berättelser kommer jag fram till att kvinnornas medverkan på prostitutionsarenan kan förstås som ett uttryck för motstånd. Ett motstånd vilket jag tolkar som riktat mot den heterosexuella normen med allt vad den inkluderar.

The current philosophical debate about prostitution is mainly concerned with two different points of view: (a) the permissibility of prostitution and if paternalistic interference on behalf of prostitutes is legitimate in a liberal democracy, and (b) feminist objections claiming that it is the unjust structures of the patriarchy that enables and affirms the institution of female bodies being sold on an open market for the sexual desires of males. The aim of this paper is to investigate if both of these perspectives take on too narrow a view when trying to address the phenomenon of prostitution. If so, the conclusions drawn may lead to unwanted consequences making it necessary for a more context-sensitive approach and/or a broader theoretical foundation.

Syftet med den här studien var att finna förklaringar till varför ungdomar väljer att ta steget in i prostitution. För att få ett inifrånperspektiv valde vi att göra kvalitativa intervjuer med tre unga vuxna som sålt sex sedan tidiga tonåren. Forskningsfrågorna handlade om hur ungdomarna själva beskrev sin väg in i prostitution samt vad de sett som motiverande för att fortsätta. Resultaten har analyserats utifrån handlingsteorin och ställts emot tidigare forskning på området. Studien visar att vägen in i prostitution kan ses som en process där individuell sårbarhet och den omgivande sociala miljön tillsammans bidrar till att prostitution framstår som ett alternativ. Ingen av ungdomarna har upplevt sig tvingade eller lurade in i prostitutionen utan ser det som ett medvetet val de idag ångrar att de gjorde. I kontrast till tidigare forskning visar studien att det inte primärt varit den ersättning de fått som motiverat dem till att sälja sex utan möjligheten att få uppskattning, bekräftelse och närhet. För vissa har det även varit ett sätt att hantera ångest. Förutom de vinster ungdomarna upplevt att de fått genom prostitutionen har omgivningens passiva hållning varit bidragande till att den fortgått. Osynliggörandet är ett centralt tema i studien.

Synen på och lagstiftningen kring sexköp har länge skapat diskussioner om fenomenet, både i relation till säljarna och till köparna. Den svenska sexköpslagen har även skapat diskussion internationellt där den har blivit både hyllad och avvisad utifrån olika perspektiv och synsätt. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur prostitution konstrueras och tolkas utifrån olika perspektiv och hur det återspeglas i det praktiska arbetet gentemot brukarna. Detta genomförs med en jämförelse av två brukarorganisationer med olika perspektiv på prostitution, Rose Alliance och Prostituerades Revansch i Samhället (PRIS). Studien utförs med hjälp av diskursanalys utifrån socialkonstruktivismen och ett genusperspektiv som teoretisk ansats. Fenomenet tolkas nämligen olika och får olika betydelser beroende på hur det konstrueras av samhället och hur det tolkas av samhällets genusordning. Det unika med de båda organisationerna är att de utger sig för att representera de prostituerades ”röster” men har två olika synsätt på vad prostitution handlar om och hur arbetet kring prostitution bör genomföras i praktiken.

À partir d’une recherche sur les lieux de prostitution de rue à Luxembourg, cette thèse propose une ethnographie des situations de prostitution de rue qui ne réduit pas cette dernière à un échange sexuel et monétaire. L’attention portée aux situations et interactions, aux contraintes et ressources avec lesquelles doivent composer les personnes qui se prostituent, amène à analyser les lieux de prostitution sous leurs dimensions humaine, sociale, matérielle, spatio-temporelle, réglementaire et productrices de sens.Or, appréhender la place de la prostitution dans la ville et dans la société appelle une perspective sociohistorique apte à mettre au jour les moyens par lesquels, dès les années 1990, les populations locales ont contribué à la mise en forme d’un « problème de la prostitution » nécessitant une intervention des pouvoirs publics, et en premier lieu des autorités communales. Sa prise en charge par les pouvoirs publics a mobilisé théories explicatives et jugements moraux, et a donné lieu à différentes formes d’action publique. Enfin, on montre comment l’imposition, au nom de l’ordre public, d’une distinction entre lieux interdits ou autorisés à l’exercice de la prostitution, et l’ensemble de rapports de force qui les traversent, amène les personnes qui se prostituent dans l’espace public à toujours renégocier un ordre social local. De manière transversale, cette thèse analyse les tensions sociales qui se cristallisent autour de l’articulation entre la sexualité et l’argent, d’une part, et leur visibilité sociale, d’autre partBased on a research about the places of street prostitution in Luxembourg City, this thesis offers an ethnography of its various situations without reducing prostitution to a mere sexual and monetary exchange. Through paying attention to the situations and interactions, to the constraints and resources with which people who prostitute themselves have to deal with, this work examines the places of prostitution under their human, social, material, spatio-temporal, regulatory and meaningful dimensions.Yet, to understand the place of prostitution in the city and in the society, it is necessary to call on a socio-historical perspective so as to reveal by what means the local populations, as early as the 1990s, contributed to the formation of a “prostitution problem” that required the intervention of the authorities, and primarily of the local governments. Its resolution by the authorities involved explanatory theories and moral judgments, and gave rise to diverse forms of public action. Finally, it is shown how imposing, on behalf of public order, a distinction between forbidden or authorized places for prostituting, and the entire balance of power passing through them, lead the people who prostitute themselves in the public space to continually renegotiate a local social order. Across the board, this thesis studies the social tensions that crystallize around the articulation between sexuality and money, on the one hand, and their social visibility, on the other hand

Syftet med denna studie har varit att studera hur media, under år 2018, skildrade orsaker till kvinnlig prostitution och hur medias beskrivningar förhåller sig till de orsaker som forskning om kvinnlig prostitution redovisar. För att besvara syftet har en kvalitativ innehållsanalys genomförts av 17 artiklar från Aftonbladet och DN. Resultatet av studien har visat att tidningsartiklar kring orsaker till kvinnlig prostitution beskriver flera skiftande orsaker som har kunnat relateras till den tidigare forskningen. Däremot finns det en överrepresentation av sådana orsaker som genomsyras av tvingande karaktär. Med utgångspunkt i teorin om sensationell journalistik kan det förstås som att denna typ av artiklar är överrepresenterad då den innehåller ett större mått av sensation och därmed högre nyhetsvärde. Resultatet från studien diskuteras utifrån ett dagordningsteoretiskt perspektiv. Allmänhetens föreställningar om orsaker till kvinnlig prostitution tolkas som påverkade av medias rapportering om tvingande orsaker.The aim of this research has been to investigate how during 2018 media have described causes of female prostitution and how these descriptions relate to earlier research on female prostitution. In order to fulfill the aims of the study a qualitative content analysis was carried out on 17 articles from Aftonbladet and DN. The result of this investigation has shown that newspaper articles express several different reasons for female prostitution that can be related to earlier research on prostitution. However there is an overstatement of causes with compelling character. Based on the sensational journalism theory, it is understood that these types of articles are overrepresented as they contain greater measure of sensation and higher news value. The results of the study are discussed from the theoretical agenda-setting perspective. It has been interpreted that the public's beliefs about causes of female prostitution are affected by reports in media about compelling causes.

Studiens syfte var att ta reda på mer om kvinnor i prostitution, främst om processen in och ut ur prostitution. Detta gjordes genom att läsa fyra böcker innehållande biografiskt material, tre böcker var skrivna av författarna själva och den fjärde av två författare som intervjuat prostituerade kvinnor. Empirin analyserades med tematisk analys och genus och stigma användes som teoretiska perspektiv och tolkningsramar. Resultaten visade att faktorer som ekonomi, traumatiska händelser och självhat utgjorde de största anledningarna till att man började prostituera sig och att utträdet ur prostitution var avhängigt faktorer såsom tiden, relationer och samhällets bemötande. Slutsatserna är att det inte är någon särskild personlighetstyp som blir prostituerad utan att det beror på flera samverkande omständigheter, därför är förebyggande insatser viktiga. Det är också lättare att sluta med hjälp av någon, exempelvis professionella aktörer.The aim of the study was to learn more about women in prostitution, mainly about the process in and out of prostitution. Four books containing biographical material were read, three were written by the authors themselves and the fourth by two authors who interviewed female prostitutes. The empirical study was analyzed with thematic analysis and gender and stigma was used as theoretical perspectives and interpretation frames. The results showed that factors such as economics, traumatic events and self-hatred were the main reasons for entering prostitution, and that exiting prostitution was dependent on factors such as time, relationships and the treatment of society. The conclusion is that it is not a particular personality type that enters prostitution but it being due to several collaborative circumstances, therefore preventive efforts are important. It is also easier to quit with the help of someone, such as professional helpers.

Shepherd, Benjamin James. "Does prostitution violate human dignity?" Thesis, Anglia Ruskin University, 2015. http://arro.anglia.ac.uk/700994/.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Traditionally, the law has largely ‘understood’ and regulated prostitution on the basis of some form of moral reflection on the sale of sex. Such a reflection is evident in recent policy efforts to criminalise the sale and/or purchase of sex, as outlined in inter alia the so-called ‘Honeyball Report’. The report suggests that prostitution is a violation of human dignity, which leads to a call to action to criminalise the purchase of sex. This study engages with this proposition, and poses the question: ‘Does prostitution violate human dignity? There are three core themes of dignity identified across the literature, in human rights theory and in international human rights law, as well as in Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), grounded in an understanding that human dignity is inherent and inalienable in all persons. As the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and its associated international conventions recognize, this concept of inherent human dignity is the bedrock upon which human rights are founded. Modern conceptualisations of human dignity constructed by US scholars are appraised and three key descriptive elements of dignity; Inherence, Personal Inviolability and Autonomy are drawn together to form a model, called ‘IPA’ dignity. Thereafter, the idea of dignity violation is explored and examined using the jurisprudence of Article 3 ECHR to demonstrate judicial recognition of the idea of violation. This ‘violation’ of dignity as expounded examines various ways in which dignity may be violated. The model is critiqued, and it is established that in order to answer the hypothesis question, a descriptive model of dignity requires some normative framework in order that it be utilised to assess the dignity violation of sex workers in prostitution. The model is considered in a normative usage, according to the natural law theory of John Finnis in Natural Law and Natural Rights, in which Finnis sets out a normative call to action for the promotion of certain objective goods, the collective of which amounts to a life ‘worth pursuing’. To provide a sociological context for the study, the subject of prostitution is introduced as it is understood in the academic discipline of sociology, and relevant literature therein is reviewed around the central issue of what is termed here ‘the prostitution encounter’; that is, the sale/purchase of sexual services. A sociological explanatory model called the Gender and Male Violence Model (GMV) is justified as most appropriate for the study. Narratives taken from the seminal literature in the sociology of prostitution are analysed using a phenomenological method to consider the experiences of the sex worker of the prostitution encounter, and an evaluation is made as to potential modes of dignity violation within the prostitution encounter. This leads to an indication that the human dignity, modelled as IPA dignity and framed with the normative call to action of Finnis which directs that human agents should promote human flourishing and, a fortiori dignity, may be violated. Using these methods, the study concludes by indicating that prostitution may indeed violate human dignity.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis examines prostitution in Cardiff from 1900 until the ratification of the 1959 Street Offences Act. Drawing from geographical theories, the opening chapters detail how the spaces of prostitution were products of interrelations: commercial sex intertwined with everyday spaces and spatial uses, while representations of ‘place’ embedded prostitution within a temporal moral geography of wider ‘problem’ behaviours. The thesis then demonstrates the limits to what can be revealed about prostitutes’ lives, reading against stereotypes to reveal patterns of migration and poverty. However, we are faced with significant obstacles to uncovering who sold sex in the interwar years, as debates over prostitution became embroiled in racial anxieties over Butetown. While emerging in response to the First World War and concerns over immigration, this connection was drawn from broader imperial hierarchies of race through which sexual behaviour represented a marker of ‘difference’. Notions of racial difference were (re)produced within particular contexts, and fears over the involvement of black and Maltese men in Cardiff’s prostitution predated the emergence of similar concerns in London. The final third of the thesis explores regulation from three angles: policing, governmentality, and materiality. It reveals how regulation was exercised through a more complex configuration of actor-networks than the police and the law, being driven by temporal discourses linked to the shifting priorities of Nonconformist politics, wartime concerns, and interwar social hygiene and immigration controls. Urban planning also shaped the spatial regulation of prostitution, particularly in the 1950s as part of wider attempts at urban regeneration and zoning. Building on insights into materiality in urban history, this study demonstrates how material environments also functioned as a diffuse form of agency, being an element of a recursive relationship between urban development and policing that shaped both the spatial uses of prostitutes and the ways in which their behaviours were regulated.

En France, l’activité de prostitution n’obéit pas à un régime juridique spécifique. Soumises au régime politique de l’abolitionnisme dicté par la Convention dite de New York du 2 décembre 1949, les personnes qui se prostituent obéissent au droit commun qui restreint cette pratique. Cette limitation s’articule autour du principe de dignité humaine. Appliqué à la prostitution, celui-ci tend à assurer une prise en charge sociale, une protection spécifique complétée par un volet répressif. Depuis l’entrée en vigueur de la loi du 13 avril 2016, cette répression s’applique aussi bien aux proxénètes qu’aux clients des personnes prostituées.En théorie, ce traitement juridique doit permettre la sortie des personnes de cette activité entraînant ainsi la diminution, voire la disparition, de la prostitution. Pourtant, la pratique suggère la fragilité d’un droit construit selon une idéologie sans prise en compte des réalités de la prostitution révélées par la sociologie. Privées d’une part de leur dignité, les personnes prostituées ne parviennent que difficilement à accéder à leurs droits, même les plus fondamentaux. Quant à celles qui souhaitent poursuivre l’activité, elles le font en dehors de tout cadre légal.En allant au-delà des exigences du régime abolitionniste d’origine, le droit français ignore davantage le consentement des personnes qui souhaitent exercer cette activité et s’éloigne de l’impératif de répression de l’exploitation de la prostitution. Au regard de l’évolution des pratiques de la prostitution, un cadre juridique, hors de l’hygiénisme du régime réglementariste, doit être envisagé. C’est l’objet de la présente étudeIn France prostitution does not fall into a specific legal framework. Subject to the political abolitionist regime of the New York Convention of December 2, 1949, people who prostitute themselves are bound by this ordinary law which restricts their practice. This limitation revolves around the principle of human dignity. Applied to prostitution, this tends to ensure social support, and specific protection supplemented by a repressive component. Since the enforcement of the act of April 13, 2016, this repression has applied to both pimps and clients of prostitutes.In theory, this legal treatment should enable people to get out of prostitution as well as its reduction, or even its disappearance. However, practice emphasizes the weaknesses of a law built according to an ideology which did not take into account the realities of prostitution revealed by sociology. Deprived of a part of their dignity, prostitutes find it difficult to access their rights, even the most fundamentals. As for those who wish to keep on, they do it outside of any legal framework.Going beyond the requirements of the abolitionist regime French law ignores further the consent of those who wish to engage in such activity and moves away from the imperative of repression of prostitution exploitation. In view of the evolution of prostitution practices a legal framework, outside the hygienic nature of the regulatory regime, must be considered. This is the subject of this study

Si la prostitution enfantine a toujours existé, ce n'est que récemment que le monde en a réellement pris conscience. Le nouveau visage qu'elle revêt a conduit le législateur a modifié quelque peu le système répressif existant. Mais, face à la pression de l' opinion, les parlementaires ont davantage multiplié les réformes visant à améliorer la répression des auteurs de cette criminalité au détriment d'une réflexion plus approfondie sur l'adéquation entre cette répression et la réalité du phénomène. C'est précisément la recherche d'une telle adéquation qui constitue l'enjeu de cette thèse. A travers une redéfinition de la prostitution enfantine, l'auteur se propose de revisiter la qualification juridique aujourd'hui retenue, le système des peines mis en place et la procédure applicable à cette criminalité. Elle nous invite ainsi à se plonger dans la réalité sordide de cette exploitation afin de mieux en comprendre les tenants et aboutissants et d'être à même de présenter un texte de répression plus approprié.

This thesis examines perceptions of lower-class female prostitutes and prostitution in eighteenth-century London. It reveals that throughout the Hanoverian period perceptions of prostitution were shaped by sensibilities about morality, the social order, and sin. To explore attitudes towards prostitution in eighteenth-century London, this dissertation evaluates how governing elites, ecclesiastical authorities, contributors to the newspaper press, and popular commentators discussed prostitution. This dissertation engages with two main assumptions about prostitution in eighteenth-century London. First, it demonstrates that there is more continuity in perceptions of prostitution than historians have recognized; attitudes towards prostitutes did not shift from hostility to sympathy in a straight-forward manner. Second, this dissertation reveals that prostitution was regarded by Augustan and Hanoverian Londoners as a significant social problem because it embodied and encapsulated the seven deadly sins – lust, avarice, pride, envy, gluttony, sloth, and wrath. This thesis suggests that prostitutes’ excessive lust and avarice were not seen as disparate issues, but were often discussed together. Paradoxically, discussants recognized that financial considerations drove some women into prostitution, but these women were regarded as abnormally greedy and corrupt because they resorted to deceptive tactics. Pride and envy were associated with prostitution because Hanoverians believed some prostitutes bought extravagant clothes and cosmetics to conceal their lowly status and enhance their appearance to emulate elites. Hanoverians regarded these prostitutes with trepidation because they threatened to undermine their hierarchically ordered society. Prostitutes’ proclivities towards drunkenness and idleness were associated with gluttony and sloth. Commentators feared that drunken and idle prostitutes would encourage men to engage in these dissolute activities, leading to greater disorder. Wrath was closely associated with prostitution because of its association with violence. Although prostitutes were both the victims and perpetrators of assault, incidents in which prostitutes were assailants were reported more frequently, suggesting that Britons regarded prostitutes as disorderly, sinful criminals. Each chapter also brings attention to concerns regarding prostitutes’ lack of self-control and their apparent ability to cause men to lose self-control; how double standards of morality influenced discussions of prostitution; the consequences of prostitutes’ criminality and ability to deceive Londoners; and the various institutions, organizations, and suggestions proposed and established to reform prostitutes and eradicate sin from society.

The aim of this thesis is to examine the existing data surrounding clients of prostitution. The thesis begins by establishing a theoretical basis that addresses the issues of sexuality and desire. The aim of this theoretical framework is to demonstrate that sexual desire is a social construct that varies over time and culture.
Using this framework, the thesis goes on to explore the existing academic studies that have studied clients of prostitution. The information contained within these studies, for the sake of ease of analysis, was divided into two categories, which form the next two chapters of the thesis. These are; demographic composition, and; motivation for purchase.
Although this thesis could draw no definite conclusions surrounding the propensity of particular demographic groups of men to be more apt to purchase sex, numerous issues were raised that merit further study. These include; the influence of male hegemony upon the propensity to purchase sex; the interconnection of power and control with sexual desire; and the current lack of information surrounding links between particular motivations and particular demographic groups.

Trafficking in human beings and prostitution is an increasing occurrence within the EU. However, vast differences in legal frameworks regarding prostitution can be detected among member states.The Netherlands is an example where prostitution is regarded a legal activity. In other member states legal standings toward prostitution remain ambivalent, where Sweden here serves an example. Finally, Lithuania is among member states where prostitution is considered illegal.The purpose of this paper is therefore to study underlying attitudes and approaches that these three countries have in this rather delicate political question. By interpreting the content and quoting parts of propositions, an ideology analysis is constructed.The theory chapter consists of Rousseau’s theories, Objectivism, Radical Feminist Theory, and Sex-positive Feminist Theory. A model with the most important features of these theories is constructed and works as a base for the analysis.The general results suggest that the Government of Lithuania consistently uses arguments pending towards Radical Feminist Theory and Rousseauan values, with catholic morality as an additional important feature in the argumentation against prostitution. The Government of Sweden also views prostitution with predominantly Rousseauan and Radical Feminist theories. The Government of the Netherlands arguments greatly differ from these viewpoints. Instead, individualistic and sex-positive arguments remain dominant here.

Prostitution is a morally loaded word. More than just sex for money, it implies something debased, dishonourable, corrupt. But there is something puzzling about the wrong, if any, of prostitution. Intuition suggests there is something peculiar about sex that distinguishes prostitution from other bodily services. However, if we discount out-dated prejudice about promiscuity, it remains mysterious why adding money to sex should change the permissibility of the act. The current debate broadly falls into three camps: 1) Qualms about prostitution are based on mere social prejudice about sex; 2) Sex has a special value which is debased or degraded when exchanged for money; 3) Prostitution perpetuates skewed power relations that feed into wider gender inequalities. Too often these stances respectively ignore relevant points of disanalogy between sex and other bodily activities; rely on undefended essentialist views about the value of sex and how it is debased or destroyed; or focus too heavily on contingent empirical and sociological evidence, without analysing the nature of the activity itself. This thesis takes a step back, analysing the nature of sex and money to identify what sets prostitution apart from other bodily services. I suggest prostitution blurs the boundaries between a personal service and an exchange of the body as property. This raises the question to what extent individuals can willingly surrender powers over their body to others, as one might do with a piece of property. Should a liberal state allow individuals to freely transact with their bodies in this way or not? Closer examination of these puzzles serves to shed light on the tension inherent in prostitution and helps to clarify key notions in the debate, including the concept of sexual autonomy, the objectification and commodification of bodies, and the relevance of the particular risk of harm inherent in the activity.

This thesis describes and analyses the policing of female street prostitution in Edinburgh. In particular, it provides an analysis of the construction of prostitutes’ identities through policing. My approach attempts to dispel some of the myths, misunderstandings and ambiguities which surround contemporary understandings of female street prostitution, thereby making a contribution to more general theorising about the female body. Structured around the central concept of identity, the chapters of the thesis are organised around my understanding of the use of values, norms and beliefs by members of society in the construction of social order, identity and the formal and informal policing of the body. These three themes run throughout. In addition, on-going analysis of the data collected throughout the fieldwork period revealed two further themes: (i) the ability of female street prostitutes to negotiate their power(s) through the regulatory function of shame and the negotiation of “truth” and, (ii) consequently, the fact that sex workers’ identities are shaped through their own ability to draw on and generate knowledge(s). The thesis also shows how power relations of gender and social structure dominate the day-to-day life of the red light area in Leith. In particular, the data presented demonstrate how power in “red light culture” rests in a delicate equilibrium in which the women themselves exert some power, not simply as the stereotypical “Madame”, but as working women who have made conscious decisions to enter the sex industry. Indeed, in this version of sex-for-sale, the data show how prostitute women can frequently invert power by “taking control of the street” through the construction and management of their personal and professional identities. In circularity, power becomes knowledge which in turn preserves power.

Can prostitution be conceived as a voluntary choice? Can the exchange of sexual services in return for money be seen as an act of will? Is it possible to distinguish between voluntary and coerced prostitution? Going through the philosophical debate within the feminist arena, my thesis will analyse the main theoretical standpoints: the radical one, mostly based on gender identity and adversarial logic between sexes; the libertarian one relying on self-ownership and individual freedom; the median one which tries to strike a balance between the two preceding perspectives admitting a certain dose of paternalism. To better understand the polarity within the feminist debate, consider that, while the American feminist Catherine MacKinnon excludes the possibility of voluntary prostitution, waging also a crusade against pornography seen as “an arm of prostitution”1, on the other hand the self-described dissident feminist, Camille Paglia, views the prostitute as “one of the few women who is totally in control of her fate, totally in control of the realm of sex”2. Moreover, moving from the theoretical to the descriptive dimension, I will describe the main regulatory frameworks existing in some countries, from the most liberal to the strictest one. My thesis is that there is no reason to exclude the possibility of voluntary prostitution, that is the possibility that someone chooses prostitution as a “desirable” activity; and that a neat distinction does exist between voluntary sex working and exploitation, being the latter featured by coercion.

Unaccompanied boys are at high risk to be exploited through prostitution which the social services are responsible to identify and give support. This study aimed to investigate how social workers in Dalarna understand and handle the issue of unaccompanied boys vulnerability and exploitation through prostitution. The result of the study was analyzed with intersectionality as theoretical frame of interpretation. This essay is based on a qualitative approach and was conducted by semi-structured interviews. The results showed that the respondents had limited experience of unaccompanied exploited through prostitution. A certain deflection of responsibility of the detection to any potential exploited is further noticed and also a stigmatizing perception of prostitution. The result further showed that the perception of intersectional power relations has an impact on the understanding of unaccompanied boys and their vulnerability to be exploited through prostitution.Ensamkommande pojkar är en högriskgrupp för att utsättas för prostitution vilka socialtjänsten ansvarar för att identifiera och stödja. Denna studie syftade till att undersöka hur socialsekreterare i Dalarna förstår och hanterar frågor om ensamkommande pojkars sårbarhet och utsatthet för prostitution. Resultatet analyserades med intersektionalitet som teoretisk tolkningsram. Uppsatsen utgick från en kvalitativ ansats och baserades på semistrukturerade intervjuer. Resultatet visade att respondenterna har begränsad erfarenhet av att möta ensamkommande pojkar utsatta för prostitution. Även en viss ansvarsförskjutning för uppmärksammandet av en eventuell utsatthet framkom samt stigmatiserande uppfattningar om prostitution. Resultatet visade även att uppfattningen om maktordningar påverkar socialsekreterares förståelse av ensamkommande pojkar och deras sårbarhet för att utsättas för prostitution.

The aim of this thesis is to describe how the problem of prostitution is framed by Amnesty International. The gap in existing lines of scholarship on framing and prostitution policies, and framing and transnational advocacy networks, is the lack of descriptive research on international framing of prostitution by Amnesty International. The theoretical approach of this thesis is social constructivism, framing theory and previous studies on prostitution paradigms. By using framing theory together with previous studies on prostitution paradigms this thesis aim to specifically answer how the problem of prostitution is framed by AI; what they recognize as the problem, cause and solution to the problem. The methods to conduct this study is qualitative single case study, the data consists of official policy documents on sex work, further, the methods of analysis is qualitative textual analysis of the content of the data. The results of this study is that the problem of prostitution is given a human rights frame by Amnesty International that points out the legislative, social, and individual injustices caused by criminalization and that sex work is suggested to be decriminalized because sex workers rights are human rights that is constantly being violated at the hands of state and non-state actors.

A la lumiere d'un eventail de sources, dont un echantillon de 550 proces de la Cour municipale de Montreal, cette these analyse l'evolution de la pratique prostitutionelle, du discours et des mecanismes de controle s'y rattachant. Plus precisement, elle insiste sur les trois aspects suivants: d'abord, elle demontre que la prostitution feminine met directement en cause les rapports d'appropriation qui marquent les relations hommes/femmes. En effet, la majorite des detenteurs de pouvoir dans la prostitution montrealaise sont des hommes: clients, proxenetes, policiers et juges dominent la scene prostitutionnelle et controlent les prostituees. Deuxiemement, cette these montre que la phenomene prostitutionnel evolue avec le temps et s'inscrit dans le contexte ideologique et socio-economique de la societe montrealaise entre 1945 et 1970. L'impact qu'ont les campagnes de moralite publique de l'immediat apres-guerre sur la redefinition des structures prostitutionnelles illustrent bien ce phenomene. Enfin, cette these permet de detruire certains mythes tenaces relatifs a la prostitution feminine. Ainsi, le profil varie des prostituees montrealaises, la precarite de leur condition economique, l'exploitation et l'etouffement dont elles sont victimes ebranlent serieusement les croyances que la prostitution est un metier payant, dans lequel les prostituees, generalement depeintes comme etant jeunes et celibataires, sont des travailleuses autonomes, mai tres de leur destin.

This study examines law enforcement and alternative responses to street prostitution in those areas where street prostitution has been found to be most problematic: inner-city residential communities. Although not regarded as a serious concern to the majority of Canadians, street prostitution's impact and associated problems are shown to be of serious concern to this population. Traditional police suppression measures have demonstrated few gains in curbing street prostitution activities. A failure to employ other models of dealing with street prostitution--community re-design and social development--are found to be serious impediments to current policing policy. Limitations are as well noted by the police not engaging valuable community resources and expertise. To overcome these barriers this study proposes a multi-agency approach; bringing together police, residents' groups, and other key agencies in a systematic framework for the delivery of proactive interventions. A review of the literature on multi-agency approaches to address street prostitution reveals a few successes internationally. Findings of an examination of the response to street prostitution in the cities of Calgary and Edmonton reveal traces of success (and potential for) in the use of a multi-agency approach. Questions over the applicability of demonstrated successes to other settings and weak and sparse evaluation work of the initiatives in Calgary and Edmonton are sure to present significant barriers to any advancement of this approach. Recommendations are presented for a number of policy and academic directions to test these hurdles.

This thesis explores the social organization of ‘helping sex workers’ in Northeastern Ontario from the standpoint of sex workers or former sex workers. It is based on twelve (12) qualitative interviews with sex workers and former sex workers between the years 2002-2003.
This thesis engages the feminist research framework as developed by Dorothy E Smith, a feminist sociologist. Smiths’ ontological and epistemological framework conceptualizes knowledge as socially produced and mediated by social/power relations. This is a theoretical framework that has the potential to explore the social standpoint of persons labeled ‘sex worker’ by examining social/power relations from their standpoint and by problematizing claims of the universality of knowledge and ‘truth’.
Overwhelmingly sex workers identified ‘help’ as a series of stigmatizing processes that were triggered upon the ‘moment of identification’ of being a sex worker. These series of stigmatizing processes were embedded in social courses of action undertaken by social service agencies and the police. This is important research as claims to ‘helping’ sex workers by social service agencies and the subsequent social relations this creates for sex workers are rarely examined in Canada from the standpoint of sex workers.

Many American novels of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries discuss prostitution. Some works like Reginald Wright Kauffman's The House of Bondage, (1910) exaggerate the threat of "white slavery," but others like David Graham Phillips's Susan Lenox: Her Fall and Rise (1917) more honestly depict the harsh conditions which caused many women to prostitute themselves for survival. Contemporary critical interpretations of novels addressed in this dissertation began before major shifts in women's roles in the workplace, before trends towards family planning, before women could respectably live on their own, and especially before women won the right to vote. Yet, a century of progress later, this vestigal criticism still influences our study of these texts.Relying on primary source materials such as prostitute autobiographies and vice commission reports, I compare fictional representations of prostitution to historical data, focusing on the prostitute's voice and her position in society. I examine actual prostitutes' life stories to dispel the misconception that prostitution was always a lower-class business. My chapters are ordered in regards to the prominence of the prostitute characters' voices: in Stephen Crane's Maggie: A Girl of the Streets (1893) the heroine seldom speaks for herself; in two Socialist novels--Upton Sinclair's The Jungle (1906) and Estelle Baker's The Rose Door (1911)--prostitutes debate low wages, political corruption, and organized vice; and in Phillips's Susan Lenox, the title character is almost always allowed to speak for herself, and readers can see what she is thinking as well as doing. As my chapters progress, I demonstrate how the fictions become more like the prostitutes' own autobiographies, with self-reliant women telling their stories without shame or remorse. My conclusion, "Revamping `Fallen Women' Pedagogy for Teaching American Literature," suggests how social history and textual scholarship of specific "fallen women" novels should affect our teaching of these texts.Department of English
