Abstract:
|
Reasons why the police should be concerned about street
prostitution are moral concerns of citizens, public health
concerns, personal safety concerns, spillover effects, impact on
legitimate businesses, and civil rights concerns. One section of
the guidebook provides an overview of street prostitutes, their
clients, pimps and panderers, sexual transactions, and areas
where street prostitution exists. Questions to use in analyzing a
specific local problem of street prostitution are grouped under
the following topics: police and community members, street
prostitutes, their clients, pimps and panderers, sexual
transactions, environment, drug links, and current response.
General strategies for deterring prostitutes and clients
encompass the enforcement of laws related to street prostitution,
a highly visible police presence, relaxation of the regulation of
indoor prostitution venues, enhancement of the penalties for
prostitution-related offenses in a specified high-activity zone,
banning prostitutes or clients from specific geographic areas,
the use of community service sentences, citizen public protests,
and education and warnings for both prostitutes and their
clients. Some special strategies for deterring street prostitutes
and their clients are offered in addition to the aforementioned
general strategies. Suggestions are provided for helping
prostitutes and changing the environment. Responses that have
proven to have limited effectiveness are also identified.
