Prostitution and trafficking - the anatomy of a moral panic
the UK’s biggest ever investigation of sex trafficking failed to find a single person who had forced anybody into prostitution in spite of hundreds of raids on sex workers in a six-month campaign by government departments, specialist agencies and every police force in the country. The failure has been disclosed by a Guardian investigation which also suggests that the scale of and nature of sex trafficking into the UK has been exaggerated by politicians and media”
This is a worrying finding. While Davies is quick to point out this doesn’t mean trafficking isn’t happening, it does support what academics and practitioners have been arguing. That the focus on trafficking as a major social problem is misplaced, and there are other issues affecting prostitutes that we ought to be concentrating on.
