Prostitution often causes significant anxiety for communities.
These communities have been known to campaign against its
presence in ‘their’ neighbourhoods, seeking the removal of street
sex workers and their male clients. Although research and
literature has begun to explore prostitution from the standpoint
of the community, there is no comprehensive text which brings
together some of the current literature in this area. This book
aspires to cast light on some of this work by exploring the
nature, extent and visibility of prostitution in residential
communities and business areas, considering the legal and social
context in which it is situated, and the community responses of
those who live and work in areas of sex work.

This book aims to examine current literature on the impacts of
prostitution in residential areas and considers how different
policy approaches employed by the police and local authorities
have mediated and shaped the nature of sex work in different
communities. It explores what communities think about
prostitution and those involved, as well as studies the
techniques and strategies communities have utilized to take
action against prostitution in their neighbourhoods. This book
will also demonstrate the diversity of public attitudes, action
and reaction to prostitution in the community.
