Recenzii

This superb collection speaks to the international community as it truly is a one-stop guide to the politics and policies of prostitution in New Zealand, which demonstrates how to regulate sex work without moral judgement. Teela Sanders, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, University of Leeds, UK

A major contribution to our understanding of prostitution when it is decriminalised and regulated by the government. The authors offer a path-breaking analysis of the New Zealand experience, and show that decriminalisation can be a superior alternative to the common policy of criminalisation. Ronald Weitzer, Professor of Sociology, George Washington University, USA
