The law of unintended consequences? (4.00 / 3)
Brothels are legal in Victoria, Australia.

This study argues that the Victorian experiment, brought in with a view to 'harm minimisation', has in fact shown that legalisation creates a massive expansion of the sex industry.  Alongside the expanding numbers of legal brothels, the number of legal brothels, trafficked women, and the amount of street prostitution and child prostitution have both gone up.

That should read the number of illegal brothels has also risen...

Yes. I have read that in West Europe too, 'demand' for fresh and submissive flesh in 'legal' establishments is fed through the illegal channels, the same human-trafficking-raping-coercing 'industry'. What's more, there is a fake papers industry growing on this.
