| | PROSTITUTION - LoveToKnow Article on PROSTITUTION |
 | | Prostitution has existed in all civilized countries from the earliest times, and has always been subject to regulation by law or by custom. | | | Prostitution is not forbidden, but by paragraph 361 of the Imperial Code women are liable to arrest for practising prostitution without being under police control, and for contravening regulations after they have been placed under such control. | | | From the earliest days of the Republic prostitutes were required to register at the aediles office, where licences were issued to them on payment of a tax. |

| | In 1941 Congress, spurred by reports of widespread prostitution near military bases and a rise in sexually transmitted disease, passed the May Act; the law made it a federal offense to practice prostitution in areas designated by the secretaries of the army and the navy. | | | In the Middle Ages prostitution flourished, and licensed brothels were a source of revenue to municipalities. | | | In 1949 a convention for the suppression of prostitution was adopted by the UN General Assembly. |

| | The Fallen Woman |
| | Repealers argued against the acceptance and tolerance of prostitution, the sanction of male vice, and the violation of the civil rights of the prostitute. | | | To have redeemed her would have justified prostitution, or at least acknowledged the fact that it could be a temporary state, and not the road to ruin and a horrible and lonely death. | | | While prostitution is not actually illegal at this point, the prostitute had little recourse against the whims of the community and its servants. |

| | Legalize Prostitution |
| | Keeping prostitution illegal also contributes to crime because many criminals view prostitutes and their customers as attractive targets for robbery, fraud, rape, or other criminal acts. | | | If prostitution were legal, these victims would be less reluctant to report to police any criminal acts that occurred while they were involved in it. | | | That view is consistent with the experience of the European countries where prostitution is legal. |

| | When prostitution is illegal, it often means that it is illegal for a woman to be a prostitute, but not illegal for a man to pay a prostitute. | | | Although prostitution is illegal in Thailand, it is often protected by law enforcement agencies. | | | When making prostitution illegal, the roles should be switched; men should be arrested for purchasing a prostitute, while women should not be thrown in jail for being a prostitute. |

| | Philippines- Facts on Trafficking and Prostitution |
| | The number of prostituted women and children are predicted to increase when the government opens 22 ports to the United States for joint military exercises under Republic of Philippines and United States Visiting Forces Agreement. | | | In a month-long campaign against prostitution in July 1998, more than 70 suspected prostitutes, 70 "guest relations officers" working without permits in various clubs, 4 nude performers and 9 maintainers of "prostitution dens" were arrested. | | | Most prostitutes were illiterate, from rural areas when "white slavery syndicates" lured them under false pretenses of decent jobs in Manila, and then forced them into prostitution. |

| | World War I was barely over when prostitution entered a new phase, marked by the persistence of red-light districts and traditional bawdy houses yet also by the increasing frequency of other forms of prostitution. | | | Waco enacted ordinances by 1889 that not only provided for licensing of prostitutes and bawdy houses and required medical examinations, but also explicitly legalized prostitution within a precisely defined district. | | | Sometimes, as in Dallas in the mid-1970s, the police resources committed to fighting prostitution were so inadequate that prostitution flourished on a scale reminiscent of an earlier age. |

| | Their main points for prostitution to remain illegal include that prostitution undermines the social institution of marriage and exploits women as well as poisoning the country’s moral climate (Stobla 2000). | | | The police and physicians who supported regulation or legalization of prostitution were not moved by religious enthusiasm towards moral purity but more concerned with realistic matters of controlling venereal diseases, sanitation, and crime (Pivar 33). | | | The other alternative resolution was to legalize prostitution. |

| | Prostitution and Sexual Autonomy: |
| | Even those who oppose prostitution most strongly typically advocate removing criminal penalties against prostitutes themselves, though they advocate leaving them in place for most or all other participants. | | | In sum, the political alternatives of reformation and abolition are not mutually exclusive: if prostitution were sufficiently transformed to make it completely nonoppressive to women, though commercial transactions involving sex might still exist, prostitution as we now know it would not. | | | It is useful at the outset to remark on the various kinds of proposals discussed in the debates over prostitution, and the terminology they use. |

| | Few and her friends have received guidance from a visiting adviser from the Australian sex industry, where prostitution is legal in several states. | | | Legalization would mean the regulation of prostitution with laws regarding where, when, and how prostitution could take place. | | | Decriminalization eliminates all laws and prohibits the state and law-enforcement officials from intervening in any prostitution-related activities or transactions, unless other laws apply. |
