Description

"This document, written by the International Abolitionist Federation, outlines common definitions of the pimping and procuring of prostitutes as well as working through the definitions of terms like \"pimp,\" \"prostitute,\" and \"brothel.\" After this general introduction, the document turns to case studies of law and the penal code on prostitution in Germany, Belgium, France, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, Great Britain, and the United States. In each example, the authors use various arrest reports to make the case for the disjuncture between civil law and penal law in cases of prostitution. The examination ends with a broad conclusion condemning the tolerance of prostitution and advocating stricter enforcement of laws regulating commercial sex."
