City is trying to cut down on prostitution. Do you think this type of scare tactic works?

I feel that the numbers that they portray are grossly exaggerated to keep public support for their over zealous campaign to try and stamp out the oldest profession in the world. It costs the states a good chunk of their budget to prosecute these misdemeanor cases, meanwhile the violent crimes continue to go unchecked. Anytime LE and/or the states attorney office posts numbers, I am always suspicious.
It is easier to hassle johns and hookers, than go after the kingpins. They can ruin the lives of horny citizens with impunity, while looking good to the masses through the smoke screen that is covering up the hard fact that they really did nothing to make the world a better place to live.
Are women forced to work as prostitutes against their will? Yes, there are many. Yet there are as many if not more that do it out of the necessity of trying to make ends meet. The problem is complex and not isolated from economic misfortune of the unskilled, and the drug addiction that most likely pulled many of these unfortunate women into it in the first place.
People sell stuff. People have sex. Those two statements are okay. Now, people who sell sex. Oh the humanity!!! Hypocritical bullshit if you ask me. Okay, I am done venting and steppin' off the condom box now.
I think we make it complex in America – in many other parts of the industrialized world (e.g. Europe; etc); P4P is not seen as such a big deal as long as there isn’t trafficking/pimping going-on.
It’s simple economics - where there is a demand the free-market will always try to come-up w/ the supply.
P4P has been around forever and hard to see that changing - although the liberals and feminists seem to be doing a very effective job of totally pussyfying today’s millennials.
The way I see it – anti P4P campaigns are often geared to rile-up those that are already against-it; not necessarily to convince those that partake in-it
I fully agree with you. As I have not left the U.S. in my adult life, I was looking at it from that POV. I always thought the "De Wallen" section of Holland is the best, where the mongers actually window shop for the girls. I know coming from a pervert like me that ain't saying much. lol
Seriously, is that "huge" number supposed to shock me. I would've said higher.
I think the threats of arrest work to discourage the average horny husband from going on line to get an escort. This is why so many men don't buy sex. I researched escorts long ago before I knew about strippers and I didnt try mostly because I was scared of cops.
Sex between consenting adults (over 18) - whether for money or honey or whatever - is a "carry on" catholics "tacked on" to the real crime.
With muddy waters - precious law enforcement resources are expended on frivolous stuff "32 year old John caught fucking 34 year old Jane for money".
The crime that we all ought to be fighting and protecting minors - has never been curbed let alone eliminated.
Legalize adult prostitution. Tax it heavily. Use the money to drive a strong program to protect minors. And tell them catholics to shove their vote up ..
By the way - legalizing prostitution will also reduce rape or forced sex and some argue would also reduce mass shooters - most of whom are lonely, sex deprived males.
Germany, Japan, Brazil, Holland and many other countries have good working systems.
First of all, as I know Phoenix can be a really tough town. The web site makes it out that prostitution and trying to use that to fulfill sexual desire is the real problem. It is not. The real problems are economic and problems of familial child abuse.
