Notes
“The research by the London Metropolitan University concluded that the change had legitimised exploitative practices: ‘women who sell sex have to contend with long standing marginalisation and exploitative practices that are embedded within the political economy of the sex industry’ and that regulation had not ended violence against prostitutes and had not reduced trafficking or the involvement of organised crime in prostitution” (Home Office 2008, p. 13).
