could be decriminalized. Prostitution. I have mixed feelings. I work (in human services) with a population that, when desperate, will prostitute themselves. It's a good thing when they get caught because they are forced into treatment. In Nevada, I believe, the law is very different! anyone out there know??
Of course we want all people who engage in risky behaviors to be as safe as possible because they're going to "engage in risky behaviors" anyway. But then the question is- if the govt. intervenes to make sure women and johns are safe (and then one can get into young boys, etc...) then do they not have the obligation to ensure those deemed unsafe are no longer engaging in those risky behaviors? How much govt. intervention do we really want here? This isn't Bankok (thank god, those children are miserable and stuck), so it's not an easy kind of pro or con!
