Radeloff Dr. Barbara Brents, Examination Committee Chair Professor of Sociology University of Nevada, Las Vegas This case study explores HIV testing policy and prostitution in Nevada. Three general themes emerge from analysis of Nevada’s HIV/AIDS policy regarding prostitution. First, HIV testing policies reflect and reproduce hegemonic sexuality—specificallygender inequality, heterosexist orientation, and negative stereotypes of prostitutes. Second, Nevada’s legalized prostitution industry makes visible the effects of economic dynamics, specifically tourism, on policies related to sexuality. Finally, the policymakingprocess depicts conflict between two approaches to regulation: the punitive controlmeasures favored by law enforcement, and prevention and public health strategies favoredby health bureaucracies. Testing prostitutes for HIV became the dominant policy response to an emerging moral panic about AIDS in the mid-1980s. Nevada’s conflicting policy approaches hoth tend to protect Nevada’s economic interests and stigmatize prostitutes. The research examines public documents, newspaper accounts, and interviews with policymakers to describe the emergence of Nevada’s regulatory policies, particularly in the context of interplay between sexuality,gender, economics, and political action. Further study of the relationship between moral panics and morality politics is necessary to understand how fear is transformed into policy through legislative processes.

AN EXPRESSIVE THEORY OF TAX Kitty Richards* The tax code is full of ineffective, inefficient, inequitable, or other- wise problematic provisions that make little sense when evaluated through the lens of traditional tax policy analysis, yet remain popular with citizens and legislators alike. The tax literature is equally full of carefully-researched, technically precise, and theoretically sound pro- posals for reform that nonetheless fail to get traction in the public de- bate. Why? What tax scholarship is missing is the importance of social mean- ing: what do our tax laws say about our society's values, and how is taxation being used to construct cultural ideals in contested spaces? This Article applies expressive theory, well developed in the crimi- nal and constitutional law literature, to a series of tax policy puzzles, demonstratinghow attention to social meaning can help to explain other- wise inexplicable behavior by legislators and policymakers, and can al- low scholars to engage more productively in the policy process.

Parnas* The characterization of prostitution as "recreational com- mercial sex"1 was coined by Manhattan Family Court Judge Margaret Taylor in her controversial opinion dismissing juve- nile proceedings against a 14-year-old girl charged with prosti- tution.2 Judge Taylor held a New York anti-prostitution law unconstitutional, finding that "[h]owever offensive it may be, recreational commercial sex threatens no harm to the public health, safety or welfare, and therefore may not be pro- scribed." The court also stated that "unmarried adults, in- cluding prostitutes and their patrons, have a constitutional right to privacy in the pursuit of pleasure."4 Approaching the © 1981 by Raymond 1.

  • PROSTITUTES' RIGHTS in the UNITED STATES: the Failure of A
    PROSTITUTES'RIGHTS IN THEUNITED STATES: The Failureof a Movement RonaldWeitzer* George WashingtonUniversity The prostitutes'rights campaign emerged in the early 1970s with the formationof COYOTEin San Franciscoand affiliated movement organizations. This studyexam- inesthe movement'smajor claims and goals, resource problems, and impact on public opinion,legislation, and law enforcement. The failure to attainkey movementgoals is explainedin termsof chronicdeficiencies of materialand human resources that might compensatefor the campaign'slack of moralcapital and enhanceits prospectsfor success. In the 1970s, groups of deviants began to mobilize to challenge popularstereotypes and discriminatorytreatment (Adam 1987; Anderson 1981; Anspach 1979; D'Emilio 1983; de Young 1988; Johnson 1983). One analyst observed that deviants were "coming out all over," embracingpositive self-images and demandingequal rights (Kitsuse 1980, p. 9). Theories of deviance were ill-equippedto explain this new activism. Labeling theory, in particular,tended to portraydeviants as "underdogs"who passively acceptedhumiliating treatmentand rarely fought back. Schur (1980; cf. Mauss 1975) was one of the first to examine collective resistance to labeling in the form of "deviance liberation"movements. Such campaigns confront the standardproblems of more conventional movements: mobilizing resources, building ef- fective organizations,locating charismaticleaders, winning thirdparty support, attracting mass media attention, and obtaining favorableresponses from the authorities.
