Following the murders of five on-street sex-workers in late 2006, a multi-agency group was set up in 2007 to develop and implement a strategy to reduce on-street sex-work in Ipswich. In May 2007, the group commissioned this independent evaluation study (later named the EVISSTA (EValuation of the Ipswich Street Sexworking StrAtegy study) from the School of Allied Health Professions at the University of East Anglia, to describe and analyse the structure, process, primary and secondary outcomes of the Strategy. This evaluation report of the first 16 months of the Ipswich Multi-Agency Strategy Group, based on research conducted over a 12-month period, sets out the background to the project, the aim and objectives for the evaluation, the ethical issues involved, the research methods, and the range of findings. |
