Regulating the Demand for Commercialized Sexual Services

Matthews, Roger A. (2018) Regulating the Demand for Commercialized Sexual Services. Women's Studies International Forum, 69 . pp. 1-8. ISSN 0277-5395. (doi:10.1016/j.wsif.2018.03.007) (KAR id:66610)

Abstract

In recent years, attention has increasingly shifted towards the buyers rather than those who provide sexual services. At the same time women involved in prostitution are increasingly coming to be seen as victims in need of support rather than offenders deserving punishment. This article aims to deconstruct the notion of male ‘demand’ for commercialized female sexual services and examines some of the measures that have been adopted in different countries to address and reduce this form of demand.
