Internet prostitution increased in similar numbers in all three countries, leading to the conclusion that compared to not having the law (as in Denmark and Norway).

Re: Incomplete sentence? (4.00 / 2)

Yes.

After some googling I find a government inquiry (SOU 2010:49 if anyone wants to read it) concluded that during the first ten years the effects included a decrease of street prostitution in Sweden when compared to Norway and Denmark. Internet prostitution increased in similar numbers in all three countries, leading to the conclusion that compared to not having the law (as in Denmark and Norway) total effect was that the law decreased prostitution.

BTW, when assessing these developments, does the study mention Viagra? AFAIK another mayor booster of prostitution (and adverse health effects on prostitutes).

Not that I can find.

I hasten to add that I have not read the whole thing, just the summary and the proposals. But the search function could not find Viagra. I think it would have been interesting if they had checked the developments in prostitution against Viagra sales in these three countries, but it appears they did not.
