Prostitution Should be Legalized I think that prostitution should be legalized because it is no different than any other service that we pay to receive.

Literature Review Foot patrolling is seen as a commonly used policing method on the street of cities. However, the effectiveness of this method has been very controversial to both policy makers and researchers.
