- Criminology
A remarkably thorough analysis of prostitution in contemporary society. Situating sex work at the intersection of economy, occupation, and emotion, the authors illuminate the complex forces that shape prostitution within an emerging global order. Bringing their analysis full circle, they close with a helpful exploration of the methods by which researchers are able to investigate an area of such danger and controversy. All in all, a courageous and important book.
Jeff Ferrell, Visiting Professor of Criminology, University of Kent, UK, and Professor of Sociology, Texas Christian University, USA.
This excellent text fills a gap in the market as it explores the full range of issues covering sex work, policy and politics....A fascinating and informative text which will become the leading handbook in this area.
Dr Louise Westmarland, Senior Lecturer in Criminology, The Open University
Many commentators have attempted to analyze and explain the nature of prostitution. However, this is the first textbook to offer a complete overview of the way it operates within contemporary society, its characteristics, organzational structures and cultural contexts. The book also explores how criminal, social and health policies have sought to regulate and control the selling of sex.
This introduction to the sociology and criminology of sex work is:
" comprehensive - covering all key areas common to the study of the female sex industry and also includes male and transgender sex work, and the sexual exploitation of young people
" interdisciplinary - combining sociological approaches with criminology, criminal justice studies, social policy, health research and sexuality studies
" comparative - including the international context of the sex industry, drawing on European and other examples of law, regulation and systems that govern the sex industry
" student-focused - offering a lively writing style, case studies, summaries of relevant legislation, study questions and guidance on further reading
" accessible - assisting student learning and aiding lecturers in their teaching.
Written by leading experts with over 20 years′ experience in researching and teaching in the field, this is a must for all criminology, criminal justice and sociology students taking modules in sex industry and prostitution studies. It will also appeal to those in gender studies and social policy.
