Decriminalizing Prostitution: Liberalization or Dehumanization?
Schroeder, Jeanne
Abstract
The article explores the contentious debate over the decriminalization of prostitution, examining whether it represents liberalization or dehumanization. It highlights the complexities of the issue, emphasizing that decriminalization is not a straightforward solution but rather a deeply contested and multifaceted question. The discussion underscores the need to consider the ethical, legal, and societal implications of prostitution, particularly its impact on women, who are disproportionately affected by both the practice and its criminalization.
