RI Decriminalized Sex Work

5 posts in this topic

Did you know Rhode Island decriminalized P4P for six years (by mistake)? I had no idea.

It would be awesome if they came to some concrete conclusions, but these are professional researchers. They'll state the correlations and pose theories, but won't stand behind any conclusions that aren't 100% backed by the data.  Still, interesting stuff...

(unlike my last post, this one should have a working link)

It was re-criminalized it in 2009. They state some interesting correlations, though. Sex work went up (as expected), but instances of gonorrhea went down. The researchers don't know why. Also, reports of rape decreased significantly. Really interesting findings.
