{"product_id":"prostitution-in-the-community-sarah-kingston-9780415688673","title":"Prostitution in the Community: Attitudes, Action and Resistance","description":"\u003cp\u003eProstitution often causes significant anxiety for communities. These communities have been known to campaign against its presence in 'their' neighbourhoods, seeking the removal of street sex workers and their male clients. Although research and literature has begun to explore prostitution from the standpoint of the community, there is no comprehensive text which brings together some of the current literature in this area. This book aspires to cast light on some of this work by exploring the nature, extent and visibility of prostitution in residential communities and business areas, considering the legal and social context in which it is situated, and the community responses of those who live and work in areas of sex work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book aims to examine current literature on the impacts of prostitution in residential areas and considers how different policy approaches employed by the police and local authorities have mediated and shaped the nature of sex work in different communities. It explores what communities think about prostitution and those involved, as well as studies the techniques and strategies communities have utilized to take action against prostitution in their neighbourhoods. This book will also demonstrate the diversity of public attitudes, action and reaction to prostitution in the community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a useful contribution for academics and researchers in the fields of Criminology and Sociology who wish to understand current policy initiatives surrounding the issue of prostitution in local, national and international community settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Kingston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415688671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415688673\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Sarah Kingston","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064945389823,"sku":"9780415688673","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3eaf1e96-d265-47dd-a8e7-4067ff81cda3.jpg?v=1768672097","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/prostitution-in-the-community-sarah-kingston-9780415688673","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
