Abstract
British parliament flirts with sex work regulation
Highlights
As campaigning against the government’s New Plan for Immigration steps up, we must remember that the immigration and criminal justice systems are inextricably linked
The UK Parliament has recently attempted to introduce legislation that would criminalise the purchase of sex, and close down online advertising and sex worker support spaces
This has led to an outcry from the decriminalisation movement but has been heavily supported by proponents of the ‘Nordic model’
Summary
The UK Parliament has recently attempted to introduce legislation that would criminalise the purchase of sex, and close down online advertising and sex worker support spaces. Cases such as these expose the fundamental failure of the criminal justice system to keep the public safe or to provide appropriate reform and rehabilitation. The fact the SSHD wants to deport people following their sentence, supposedly for public safety, is an explicit acknowledgement that the criminal justice system does not work.
