| Legalized Prostitution Has Been Shown To Fail Miserably In Other Countries. |
| Prostitution in Sweden was such a failure that it was banned in 1999. With legalized prostitution, rape went UP. Prostitution is legal in Holland, and it is causing so much damage, they are considering making prostitution illegal. Rape went up 2530 percent since prostitution was legalized there. No country has benefited from legalizing prostitution. Instead, it brings in hordes of men looking for sex for sale—not only from prostitutes but from impressionable little boys and girls. You can restrict prostitution, but you cannot restrict the kind of predatory men who come to that city looking for sex for sale. |

It so sad that children have to be a part of this debate because of sick men and women who violate
the world's most precious commodity. |

Legalize it but clean it up a lot better women that are prostitutes should be tested and should pay
taxes for there jobs just as every one else. Also make it a designated area or building for
prostitutes such as a business |

Generally I believe in letting people choose how to live their own lives so I'm not really against
prostitution. However, anytime a country, city, neighborhood, or even a single building become
associated with sex or drugs it draws the dredge of society to it. Sometimes being that attraction
may be the lesser of evils (i.e. You believe people will engage in the behavior anyway so it might
as well be contained to a zone) but quite often communities find it spills over to areas they
especially don't want it, or attract a degree of depravity or crime or complications they didn't
expect.
So I'm not saying end legalized prostitution in the places it exists now, I'm saying it's no
surprise communities that have it struggle with problems, complications, containment, etc. Shoot,
even watching the show Cops in Nevada they're always having to deal with the hookers coming into Las
Vegas despite the fact it's legal outside of it. You just can't contain legalized prostitution nor
the disease or crime complications which flow from it. |

The question is not whether there are problems associated with legalized prostitution but how do
those problems compare to areas with illegal prostitution. The fact is that when properly managed
legal prostitution can decrease the violence, human trafficking, drug abuse, and social disease
epidemics associated with illegal prostitution. |

There is one reason that it has failed (if indeed it has) and that is - it isn't legal everywhere.
If one place is enlightened enough to legalise the oldest trade whilst surrounding areas don't then
it stands to reason that place will be a magnet for a lot of undesirables. It is a bit unfair to
then look negatively at that one place in comparison to its neighbours under those circumstances.
It would work if all countries and states made it legal.
There is nothing logically that would link legalising prostitution with increased rapes. Quite the
reverse should be true. |

You wouldn't think that would happen. I mean, why rape someone when they'll do it voluntarily for a
bit of money? And obviously crime rates would go down. I don't agree with prostitution but I do
believe in living a life that you choose, and if your dream is to be a hooker, shouldn't you become
a hooker? I don't think legalizing prostitution would harm anybody. |

According to what I have read, it is up, but not due to legalized prostitution. I Copy pasted an
article from Sweden reguarding this subject:
According to a new study from the Crime Prevention Council, Brå, it is four times more likely that
a known rapist is born abroad, compared to persons born in Sweden. Resident aliens from Algeria,
Libya, Morocco and Tunisia dominate the group of rape suspects. According to these statistics,
almost half of all perpetrators are immigrants. In Norway and Denmark, we know that non-Western
immigrants, which frequently means Muslims, are grossly overrepresented on rape statistics. In Oslo,
Norway, immigrants were involved in two out of three rape charges in 2001. The numbers in Denmark
were the same, and even higher in the city of Copenhagen with three out of four rape charges. Sweden
has a larger immigrant, including Muslim, population than any other country in northern Europe. The
numbers there are likely to be at least as bad as with its Scandinavian neighbors. The actual number
is thus probably even higher than what the authorities are reporting now, as it doesn’t include
second generation immigrants. Lawyer Ann Christine Hjelm, who has investigated violent crimes in
Svea high court, found that 85 per cent of the convicted rapists were born on foreign soil or by
foreign parents. |

Prostitution is legal in Germany and causes no problems. There was a colourful brothel - complete
with big lovehearts painted on the walls - outside of the place where I used to work there. It
didn't cause any of the problems you are describing.
On the contrary, legalising prostitution solves most of the problems prostitution otherwise creates.
The prostitutes themselves can be forced to undergo tests for diseases every so often. If they have
difficulties with their customers, they can contact the police just like any normal citizen. If they
are sick or unable to work, they can get help from the state just like any normal citizen. And they
pay their taxes, just like any normal citizen.
And the idea that only sinister, deviant men use prostitutes for sex is naive. I could see them
pulling up to the brothel in their cars and parking outside. They seemed just like any ordinary
person you could meet in the street.
All countries should legalise prostitution. |
