A compilation of academic articles, stories and testimonies by Caroline Fabius for the Scelles Foundation.
Prostitution in America continues to be viewed by the mainstream as an unacceptable practice. Remnants of Victorian era ideology are still present in current attitudes and beliefs, and this has informed how the United States as a country has approached the issue of prostitution. Prostitution is a crime in all but a handful of states. Legislation enshrined in the US Constitution, and laws passed in the early twentieth century and more recently in the twenty-first century have granted specific powers to federal, state, and local entities to combat prostitution and human trafficking.
With a bibliography, and , in appendix, a list of US bodies involved in the fight against human trafficking. |
