1. The Myth of the Victimless Crime – New York Times: most women in prostitution, including those working for escort services, have been sexually abused as children, studies show. Incest sets young women up for prostitution — by letting them know what they’re worth and what’s expected of them. Other forces that channel women into escort prostitution are economic hardship and racism.”

Snap Judgment 
Splitzer had to read the essay on prostitution “A She-Savior” by the well-known Russian author Mikhail Armalinsky. It was published in Moscow edition of his Selected Works http://www.mipco.com/english/introVozn.html
Here is the link: http://www.mipco.com/english/SheSavior.html
The main idea of the essay “A She-Savior” is that the legalization of prostitution must be based on a return of its divine, sacred character, so that prostitution will be considered the most honorable profession, the one closest to God, the holiest.
Reviews: 'Prada prostitutes' by Howard Jacobson | Prospect Magazine April 2008 issue 145: “Memoirs by high-class hookers may be cartoonish, but no less so than accounts that cast prostitutes as victims of rapacious male sexuality. There are many types of prostitute, just as there are many reasons for men to visit them. A grown-up debate about sexuality must acknowledge this”
Debate: 'Should paying for sex be banned?' by Fiona Mactaggart | Prospect Magazine March 2008 issue 144: “Sweden has passed a law making it illegal to pay for sex. Some think a similar move in Britain would be the best solution to trafficking. Would it?”
