Prostitution Legalization

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
business when he started at the age of nineteen while in college. He was able to pay his way through two post-secondary degrees and now is an ardent advocate for  Prostitutes rights. Yet, many condemn such industriousness claiming that it leads to moral decay in the community. However, what seems to be more the case is the fact that legalizing  prostitution may have an overall positive affect on society as a whole. Many women chose prostitution because they have no other economic recourse. For one reason or another their  ability to provide for themselves has been severely hampered or their ability to obtain education which would elevate their expectations is non-existent. For many it is a matter of survival  and once they have entered the business of the sex industry, they are often too enmeshed to pull themselves out of it. In many ways, because of the lack of  regulation or standardized criteria, prostitution is a very prevalent form of gender abuse. Quite frankly, one only has to look at the prohibition act of the 1920s in America.  For a brief time in United States history, the distillation, production and sale of alcohol was forbidden and outlawed.This opened up a huge black market and one which, by many  accounts, nearly doubled the crime rates. Prohibition does not work. The only thing that the continued criminalization of prostitution seems to likely to do is insure that the business is  put into the laps of organized crime syndicates who think nothing of brutalizing the women who work for them. If prostitution were to be viewed as a service industry, like  any other, then it may very well be possible that with licensing and regulations, organizations could protect the basic human rights of the sex workers.
