06-Apr-06 | Help for prostitutes will fail says expert |
icBirmingham Nick Foley |
| Speaking before the Sex as Crime conference in Birmingham, Jo Phoenix, a leading academic warned that measures designed to help prostitutes escape the sex trade will backfire and lead to an increase in the numbers being sent to jail. Quote: "The Home Office's new strategy offers less support and more punishment to prostitutes even though, quite perversely, it looks from the outset like the opposite is true. "By any other name it's a crackdown on prostitutes, but has been billed as something entirely different." "Many of the women I speak to through my research have become involved in the sex trade through abject poverty and sheer desperation. "Rather than helping them, the new strategy will give them a criminal record which will make it even harder to leave the sex trade once they are freed." | |||
