Prostitution has always fascinated the public and bewildered policy makers. Reframing
Prostitution explores several aspects of this multidimensional phenomenon, examining
different ways in which prostitution is and was being practised in different places and
different times, best practices in the regulation of prostitution as well as wider social and
psychological issues, such as the construction of prostitution as incivility or of prostitutes
as a socially problematic group or as victimised individuals. The book also addresses
normative questions with respect to policy making, unmasking the purposes behind
certain societal reactions towards prostitution as well as proposing innovative solutions
that could reconcile societal fears of exploitation and abuse while meeting the rights and
needs of individuals voluntarily involved in prostitution.

With contributions across social science disciplines, this international collection presents
a valuable discussion on the importance of empirical studies in various segments
of prostitution, highlights social contexts around it and challenges regulatory responses
that frame our thinking about prostitution, promoting fresh debate about future policy
directions in this area.
