When I first came to Miami in 1977, there were several places in the county where hookers could always be seen. Now, there is none of that, because any women wanting to have sex for money have cellphones and there are places where they advertise. It is probably impossible to prevent prostitution, so why try? There are certainly worse crimes to prosecute.
there certainly are worse things to worry about, like almost anything that actually involves hurting people.
the issue with today's prostitution, besides the silly bible people whining about morality, is girls being exploited.
if it were legalized that would no longer be a problem (except for underage girls of course, which should remain illegal)
