Prostitution.- A legal work

Prostitution 
There's legal prostitution, illegal prostitution and kind of legal. America falls into the kind of legal category. It is only 'kinda legal' in Nevada, in only 8 counties in brothels. How do we solve a problem that is 'kinda legal?' Do we legalize it, or enforce more laws preventing prostitution.




Decriminalizing prostitution would help reduce the spread of STD's because workers would be able to receive specific health care relating to their work without being worried about criminal offences. If it was decriminalized and it became legal it could benefit strict laws for the customer and the worker. The sex workers in Nevada must have a blood test to make sure they are healthy. Pimps would be required to fill out paper work for their workers, this would ensure that these are consenting adults. Legalizing Prostitution would reduce the rate of violence against the workers and would reduce the rate of rape. This study was concluded after Rhode Island had accidentally legalized prostitution for three decades. The study show that there was about thirty percent of decrease of rape and gonorrhea. Libertarian economist, Donald Boudreaux, has stated that legalizing prostitution would help reduce the trade of minors, that because it is illegal those who demand a prostitute do not care for the age of them. But since prostitution would be legal "men will have less demand to patronize a child." The taxes from prostitution would help law enforcement to capture the criminals. In Nevada, the brothels are do not pay state taxes but do pay local taxes. But there could be compromise to legalizing prostitution, it would legal to sell but illegal to buy. This would make the woman in control of the business.

Just because legalizing prostitution would reduce government spending does not make it victimless. Legalizing prostitution would encourage human trafficking. A Study by a Seo-Yeong Cho, explained that places where prostitution was legalized there was a higher rate of human trafficking than thwhat is best for those who prohibit prostitution. The study concluded that the type of prostitution did not matter in the case, the only thing that matter was that either prostitution was legal or not. There up to twenty-five different types of prostitution. Many do not consider those who were former prostitutes or those who are still prostitutes, which were forced into the sex work. But only selling could be a problem because the 'johns' would go through a loop hole to prevent women being in charge. 



We should be informed of possible solutions, even if some do not agree with. Prostitution is something that is not going away. We should take into considerations the victims that had suffer human trafficking but we should resolve work that woman chose to work. It might not seem moral but its not our place to say whats best for them. Its quite shocking that most part of Africa it is illegal to prostitue while America is catogorized as 'kinda legal.' it seems that the western and eastern parts seem either to be 'kinda legal' or simply legal.
