  • Making Space for Sex Work: Female Street Prostitution and the Production of Urban Space
    Volume 27.1 March 2003 75±89 International Journal of Urban and Regional Research Making Space for Sex Work: Female Street Prostitution and the Production of Urban Space PHIL HUBBARD and TEELA SANDERS Introduction It has been widely asserted that the female prostitute constitutes a central figure in the social imagination, playing an important symbolic role in the definition of moral standards. For example, many commentators have noted that the street prostitute has been stereotypically depicted as a motif of degeneracy, contagion and sexual lasciviousness, and hence a threat to male bourgeois values (Walkowitz, 1992; O’Neill, 2001). Similarly, the idea that the criminalization of street prostitution has been a means of establishing wider notions of what is socially and morally acceptable has also been widely documented (Duncan, 1996). Yet there have been few studies that have related these general ideas to specific spaces, detailing how female prostitution is implicated in the making of urban orders. Exceptions note that prostitution tends to be concentrated in particular areas, but say little of the processes by which these spaces are produced. For example, while Symanski (1981) provided an extensive mapping of the varied ‘immoral landscapes’ existing in different historical and geographical contexts, his work made little mention of the appropriation, occupation and use of these landscapes, particularly the way they are shaped by female sex workers. Equally, Ashworth et al. (1988) sought to extend Symanski’s analysis, theorizing the location of vice in the city as the outcome of consumer choice within socio-legal constraints, but ignored the way that sex workers create red-light districts through their distinctive spatial practices (which change according to legislative climate, levels of mutual support, client demand and so on — see Brewis and Linstead, 2000).

  • Briefing on Legal Prostitution in the Netherlands: Policies, Evaluations, Normalisation
    Briefing on legal prostitution in The Netherlands: policies, evaluations, normalisation Author: Karin Werkman Date: June 2016 Website: http://feminismandhumanrights.org 1. Introduction In 2000 The Netherlands became the first country to legalise all aspects of prostitution. It has since been a strong advocate for its pragmatic approach. This brief explains the Dutch law, lists research on the effects and outcomes of it, and explains the pending law proposal and current discussions. The image that always comes to mind when discussing the Dutch prostitution policy is that of the statue of Belle in Amsterdam. It is an almost symbolic translation of Dutch thinking on prostitution. It translates the view that The Netherlands have on prostitution, on what prostitution is. It is the figure of a woman in a window frame, in a self- confident, proud posture, hands on her hips, chin in the air. The statue was placed on the square in April 2007, unveiled at the first open doors day of the red light district1. Less than a month earlier, the newspapers reported on a study that had been published on prostitution in Rotterdam. It found that more than half of the prostituted women in Rotterdam ‘worked illegally’. ‘Working illegally’ meant that the women had been either forced into prostitution; were illegal (no residence status); were minors or worked in ‘illegal sex establishments’2. If in Rotterdam at least half of the women weren’t in prostitution legally or voluntarily, then how could they place a statue for them in Amsterdam in the same month? This contradiction, between the thinking on prostitution and the reality of it, is the topic of this brief.

  • Street Prostitution Zones and Crime
    Street Prostitution Zones and Crime Paul Bisschop Stephen Kastoryano∗ Bas van der Klaauw April 30, 2015 Abstract This paper studies the effects of introducing legal street prostitution zones on both reg- istered and perceived crime. We exploit a unique setting in the Netherlands where legal street prostitution zones were opened in nine cities under different regulation systems. We provide evidence that the opening of these zones was not in response to changes in crime. Our difference-in-difference analysis using data on the largest 25 Dutch cities between 1994 and 2011 shows that opening a legal street prostitution zone decreases registered sexual abuse and rape by about 30% − 40% in the first two years. For cities which opened a legal street prostitution zone with a licensing system we also find significant reductions in drug crime and long-run effects on sexual assaults. For perceived crime, perceived drug nuisance increases upon opening but then decreases below pre-opening levels in cities with a licensed prostitution zone. In contrast, we find permanent increases in perceived drug crime in the areas adjacent to the legal prostitution zones. Our results do not show evi- dence of spillover effects on crime associated to human trafficking organizations. Keywords: Prostitution, Crime, Sexual Abuse, Rape, Drugs, Regulation.

  • BRIEFING 'Assessment of Ten Years of Swedish and Dutch Policies on Prostitution' the Netherlands1
    BRIEFING ‘Assessment of ten years of Swedish and Dutch policies on prostitution’ August 2012 The Netherlands1 In 1 October 2000, the Netherlands lifted the ban on brothels of 1911. Since then, several studies from the Scientific Research and Documentation Centre of the Ministry of Justice (WODC) and from the national police force (KLPD) have studied the impact of the decriminalization of procuring in the Netherlands. 1- The situation of persons in prostitution has worsened. The study ‘Daalder’2 carried out for the Ministry of Justice unveils that: • “There has been no significant improvement of the situation of persons in prostitution”. • “The prostitutes’ emotional well-being is now lower than in 2001 on all measured aspects”. • “The use of sedatives has increased”. • Options for leaving the industry were in high demand, while only 6% of municipalities offer assistance. 2- 50% to 90% of the women in licensed prostitution “work involuntarily”. These data were unveiled in 2008 by the national police force (KLPD) in a study on the sector of legalized prostitution entitled “Keeping up appearances”.3 In this study, the Dutch national police force gives a very worrying assessment of the law decriminalizing procuring. Direct cause of the study is the Sneep-case, where two Turkish-German procurers, together with 30 accomplices, were condemned for exploitation of and violence against more than 100 women in the Netherlands, in Germany and in Belgium. What is striking is that all the women, who have been exploited with extreme violence in the Netherlands, were in the legal, licensed, taxpaying and State sanctioned brothels. In Amsterdam, according to the national police, it is estimated that there are 8000 women in window prostitution; at least 4000 of them would then be exploited and abused every year.

  • Married Women, Crime, and Questions of Liability in England, 1640-1760
    MARRIED WOMEN, CRIME, AND QUESTIONS OF LIABILITY IN ENGLAND, 1640-1760 by Marisha Christine Caswell A thesis submitted to the Department of History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen‟s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada February, 2012 Copyright ©Marisha Christine Caswell 2012 Abstract Upon marriage, women in early modern England became subject to the common law doctrine of coverture. Coverture had a number of consequences, all of which stemmed from a married woman‟s lack of independent legal identity. These consequences largely manifested themselves in a married woman‟s complete lack of property rights, but the lack of an independent legal identity created complications for assigning criminal responsibility to married women in the early modern criminal justice system. Coverture largely manifested itself in the criminal law through the defence of marital coercion, which held that a married woman who committed a crime – with the exceptions of murder and treason – was assumed to be acting under her husband‟s coercion and was therefore not liable for her actions. This study examines the perceptions, treatment, and experiences of married women in the northern assize circuit and London between 1640 and 1760, with particular attention to the defence of marital coercion. This thesis discovered that the household ideal, not the defence of marital coercion, was the most important factor in determining the perceptions, treatment, and experiences of married women with the criminal justice system. People in early modern England did not see coverture as the loss of rights, but rather the means through which to create a unified household.

    De Veluwe als bron van veilig drinkwater Inleiding Water is de bron van al het leven. Een mens kan maximaal vier dagen zonder drinkwater. Van oudsher zoeken mensen voor hun vestigingsplaats de aanwezig- heid van betrouwbaar drinkwater op. De Veluwe is al eeuwen in beeld als bron van goed en betrouwbaar drinkwater. Daar waar het Veluwewater aan de oppervlakte komt, aan de randen dus, heeft de mens zich dan ook gevestigd. Door de eeuwen heen is de bevolking gegroeid en ook de behoefte aan drinkwater per hoofd van de bevolking. Maar de Velu wse bron is niet onuitputtelijk. Naast het gebruik van dit kostbare water als drinkwater werden bijvoorbeeld ook de beken en sprengen, die gevoed worden met dit Ve- luwewater, gebruikt en ontwikkeld ten behoeve van allerlei andere menselijke activiteiten. In dit artikel ga ik in op het historische belang van de Veluwe voor de drinkwater- voorziening en kijk ik vooruit naar toekomstige ontwikkelingen voor het grondwa- ter en de drinkwaterwinningen op de Veluwe. Historie Tot het jaar 1850 werd in de drinkwaterbehoefte van mensen voorzien door het water te halen uit locale putten of nabijgelegen oppervlaktewater. Met name in de steden kwam hierbij de volksgezondheid in het geding door de vervuiling van dit water. Door besmettelijke ziektes als cholera en typhus was destijds de levens- duur van mensen beperkt. Er werden waterleidingsystemen aangelegd vanuit een schone bron tot in of nabij de huizen. De eerste drinkwaterleidingbedrijven zijn toen gesticht. In tabel 1 is een overzicht opgenomen van de start van drinkwaterwinningen door de steden rondom de Ve- luwe.

The functions of the Law Reform Commissioner, as defined by Section 8 (a) of the Law Reform Act 1973, include advising the Attorney-General on the modernisation of the law, having regard to the needs of the community. 2. The purpose of this Working Paper is to examine those special rules of law which in some cases relieve wives, and in other cases both husbands and wives, from criminal liability for conduct which would render them liable if they were unmarried. 3. Those rules originated long before the reforms of the law on the civil side which, during the past 100 years, have removed the legal disabilities of married women in matters of property, contract and family law, and long before those social changes which, in modern times, have reduced the discrimination to which women have been subjected in respect of education and economic opportunities.
