It should be legalised. Prostitutes are not always drug users, which I think forms quite a substantial chunk of negative attitudes towards legalising it. It gives prostitutes more rights. I don't know too much about police relationships with prostitutes but I can't imagine it works out too well for prostitutes if they're the victim of crimes as a result of carrying out their own illegal activity, etc... They're essentially forced into being victims twice - they get no help from the law and they get victimised a lot of the time by unscrupulous customers, pimps and so on. Amsterdam does have a few problems relating to prostitution but on the whole it's a much safer environment and the women are better for it.
