Maybe not but it might mean that prostitutes can go to the police if they're beaten up, raped, robbed and other prostitutes won't fear persecution if someone goes missing and they're too afraid to report it. Prostitution happens whether we like it or not, we might as well do everything we can to help out the vulnerable. Or is it because this isn't something you could show on an emotional BBC charity appeal that people don't like it? Prostitutes have it so hard. A trafficked girl might stand a chance at going to the police and getting out of this horror if they're properly policing this area. I can't fathom people who think this is a bad idea, as if men who want to sleep with women for money don't already do it and doing this is going to cause some kind of moral scar on the fabric of our nation - help the people who need help; it's still going to be disgusting to people en masse and it's not going to suddenly become a cool thing to do...
