Abstract: | I explore the idiosyncrasies of Dutch policy with regard to prostitution, placing them in the broader framework of criminal justice and policy debates in general. More especially, I shall be looking at recent developments towards, on the one hand, legalization of prostitution, and on the other a crackdown by the (criminal justice) authorities on the organized criminal networks that would appear to have gained the upper hand in Amsterdam's red-light district. |
