In the United States of America, prostitution is illegal in all of its 50 states with the exception of the state of Nevada. Nevada is the only U.S. state with allows legal prostitution in some of its rural counties. Occupational health and safety laws are applied to the brothels in these counties but the sex workers elsewhere in the country still remain exposed to the threat of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and violence from pimps and customers. Prostitution exists in various forms in the States: street prostitution, escort prostitution, and brothel prostitution (Harcourt). It has been estimated that the sum total of the revenue generated by the underground prostitution industry in the U.S. is about $14.6 billion (“Prostitution Revenue”), the fifth highest in the world (about 8% of the total annual worldwide revenue). If prostitution were made legal, it would increase the U...

As the system came in contact with younger and younger individuals in the sex trade, it was merely a matter of discussion, not action. It was through advocacy efforts, lobbying, and educational propagation that the message was reaching law enforcement officers, juvenile probation officers, and judges entrusted with upholding justice (Musto, 2013). Various community partners have been sought after to be trained and educated on minor sex trafficking that there was never a choice to enter the sex trade, rather an involuntary act of coercion by a traffickers (Musto, 2013). When the shift occurred from punitive to rehabilitative hope was planted for all those children still out in the sex trade fighting for their lives would not have to fear a juvenile
This journal article examines the issue of minor sex trafficking in the U.S and provides the reader with the results of the research that was conducted on the matter at hand. A data analysis consisting of 115 minor sex trafficking was thoroughly examined and studied. The information surrounding these cases was collected using two specific methods. One method included the reviewing of press releases of human trafficking cases issued by the Department of Justice. The second method was to obtain information via online searches of media reports.
This is an interdisciplinary paper, which focuses on the trafficking of young women and children into prostitution. It starts with a brief description of what is human trafficking and how it works as a business. Then, it focuses on the sex trafficking part of it and how young women and children are more vulnerable to victimization and exploitation. Many victims of human trafficking are under this idea of debt bondage, which is sort of the commitment that victims have with their traffickers. Victims are forced to work until they pay their debt, which most of the time is unpayable. Public corruption is one of the many reasons why many traffickers can transport their victims within or out of the country, which can make it harder to help the victims,
Although historically Minot has not had to deal with these problems, it is now seeing massive increases in advertisement of sex for money and human trafficking cases. “By 2 p.m. on a recent Tuesday, Backpage.com in Minot listed 64 escort ads posted that day” stated an August 2014 article in the Minneapolis based Star Tribune. Shockingly this number was only a dozen shy of the total ads posted in Minneapolis/St. Paul area (Louwagie). This has become a huge problem in other, more rural areas with little action being taken to prevent it. Ads soliciting sexual services are being posted online by girls from their teens to their early twenties. Even more devastating is the fact that many girls with ads are as young as 14 and are coerced into this life by pimps. Windie Lazenko, an aid worker in Williston, was only 13 years old when when she was sold into prostitution (Boyce and This is Life: Filthy Rich). Lazenko, now 30, moved to Williston short-term to help work with the growing issue of sex crimes but has ended up staying and working for a cause that hits so close to home. She somberly stated in an interview with CNN, “In the whole entire state of North Dakota, I am the only one, so far, that is providing direct services to victims of sex trafficking” (qtd. in This is Life: Filthy Rich). Prostitution is not going away; moreover, it is alarming to know that it is happening right
According to Satz, there are three types of prostitutes: a streetwalker, a high-end escort, and male prostitutes. The focus of this paper will be on the first two types. A streetwalker can be viewed as a girl who takes up prostitution because she has no other options. She desperately needs the money, yet has no education or skills, so all she can do is sell her body. As she is young and vulnerable, she relies on a pimp for protection. However, the pimp has total control over and decides when and with who she has sex with. She has no autonomy or independence over her body. On the other hand, escorts tend to be high end and cater to wealthy men. They make pretty decent money and have a lot of independence. They have the power to decide when they want to work and who they will accept as their clients. The amount of autonomy is what separates the two,
Traditionally, there has been little research on or interest in the impact of female crime in modern society. In addition, juvenile crime rates are on the rise, which combine for a void of research or information on female juvenile offenders. In general, crime rates for women offenders have risen since the 1990's. Increasing numbers of young women are also offending at higher rates. In a 1996 U.S. Department of Justice Report, the number of arrests of young women had doubled between 1989 and 1993. Twenty percent of all juvenile arrests were committed by girls, an increase of 87 percent. However, according to The National Study of Delinquency Prevention in Schools, males are far more likely to admit to criminal involvement than are females. For example, 12 percent of males and 4 percent of females reported carrying a hidden weapon other than a pocketknife in the past year (Wilson, p.150). There are several theories for this rise in crime proposed by modern feminists, including that the introduction of women into traditional male roles prompted women to commit increasingly dangerous and violent crimes. However, this paper will rely on Meda Chesney-Lind's theories from The Female Offender.
Prostitution is one of the oldest professions in history. In this modern age there are several classes of prostitutes with several methods of finding work, but they still face violence in their business. Though prostitutes are frowned upon by society and treated as criminals, under the law they should not be scrutinized by the morals of the people. Prostitutes frequently feel they have no options due to their illegal work, should they be assaulted they cannot turn to the police since many officers refuse to aid them as criminals. Prostitution should be regulated to fight human trafficking, increase quality of life for the women working in the industry, and generate taxes for the government while reducing the cost of dealing with prostitution.
People nowadays believe that crime has reached its peak among young generations.

The United States has been affected by a number of crimes committed by juveniles. The juvenile crime rate has been increasing in recent years. Everyday more juveniles commit crimes for various reasons. They act as adults when they are not officially adults. There is a discussion about how juveniles should be punished if they commit heinous crimes. While many argue that juveniles who commit serious crimes, such as murder, should be treated as adults, the fact is, juveniles under the age of eighteen, are not adults, and should not be treated as such.
The oldest occupation in history, prostitution is one of the only occupations in which those who practice it are not protected by law in many first world countries. That however, sets the stage for disaster; women can get beaten and raped but will not report it out of fear of getting arrested themselves. To protect prostitutes and their patrons, voluntary prostitution of those over the age of eighteen in inevitable and must be legalized.
When looking at youth offending statistics it is beneficial to take into account that the majority of young people do not participate in activity serious enough to attract the attention of the youth justice system (Pakes and Winstone, 2007). However, many young people engage in other forms of illegal activity such as underage drinking and use of illegal substances, which are enjoyed equally by adults. But like with any crime the ones which would cause the most intense response are the incidents which are drawn to the attention of the public.
