Paper Summary:

This paper examines the current Canadian laws regarding prostitution and analyzes why these laws put men and women prostitutes in danger. The paper discusses how the laws can be adjusted to reduce this harm. The paper acknowledges why people may turn to prostitution as a means of survival and how these etiological factors can be used to create meaningful social policy implications. Also, arguments against legalization and/or decriminalization are used to provide meaningful contrast to the arguments in favour of legalization and/or decriminalization.

From the Paper:

"The current laws that surround prostitution in Canada are proving to cause unnecessary brutality toward street workers. People are being forced into dangerous situations to avoid legal sanction. Legalizing or at least decriminalizing prostitution would positively impact the lives of those employed by the sex trade. However, legalization or decriminalization will likely prove to not be enough; social programs must also be put into place to help prevent prostitution, provide support for existing workers, and also help them exit the industry if they wish to. Prostitution is one of the world's oldest professions and will continue to live on, no matter how many deterrents are put into effect by the government. In response to this, the Canadian government would be well advised to adopt an approach of harm reduction rather than punishment."
