In the prostitution business, procurers are intermediaries between clients and prostitutes, both male and female. Procurers are tasked with handling conflicts and incentives in their work. The aim of this research is to understand the psychological dynamics of a respondent regarding their motivation to become a procurer and the impact of this profession on them. This research is a qualitative research study with a case study approach. The main respondent in the study was one woman accompanied by one other person as a significant other. In this research, data were collected using semi-structured interviews. The results of data analysis show that the respondent's decision to become a procurer was influenced by a toxic relationship environment, traumatic events, financial difficulties, and family separation. The respondent experienced several negative impacts on their psychological condition, even though they felt safe about their financial condition. These negative impacts were losing concern for others, hurting themselves, feeling guilty about what they did, and giving in to pressure. The psychological insights gained from this study have significant implications for mental health practitioners working with individuals involved in prostitution, while contributing to the broader academic discourse on psychological adaptation in such complex social environments.

Underground Economy And Taxation Of Prostitution (Literature Study In Indonesia)

Prostitution is actually an undergorund economy that is difficult to detect, because every commercial sex worker in this business is difficult to distinguish from ordinary people in general. In terms of taxation, tax is designed not to recognise assets obtained from legal activities, and from illegal activities, no matter whether the income is obtained from corruption, prostitution, human trafficking, illegal arms trade and even narcotics. As long as it is known that there is an increase in income or enjoyment, the state has the right to collect taxes. However, the relationship between prostitution and taxes is very sensitive. Prostitution business has a huge potential. Exploring the potential of this business if done massively will increase tax revenue significantly, but there is a trade off that DJP must face. In this case, DJP must also use the moral point of view prevailing in society. Taxing something illegal and immoral will indirectly give an opinion to the public that the state legalises the activity.

Distorted and Victimized Lives of Women in Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid's Tale

This study intends to evaluate Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale from the viewpoint of feminist theorist Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex, which offers a more nuanced perspective on sexuality and gender. Beauvoir's philosophy centres on the societal systems of oppression that designate women as ‘Other’ to a male reputation. According to her, femininity is something that society imposes on women, and feminism cannot be reduced to a basic biological statement. According to her, ‘Other’ best reflects the primary social function of a woman. She disputes the vocabulary that defines women based on their biology and asserts that biology is the primary cause of women's subjugation in patriarchal societies. She believes that sexuality contributes to the subjugation and exploitation of women. According to Beauvoir, the prostitution business and the heterosexual lifestyle are the two most visible instances of women's exploitation. Clearly, she rejects the notion that heterosexuality is the norm in sexual encounters. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how Atwood employs conjecture to examine feminist issues in The Handmaid's Tale, such as women's identity loss, subordination in a patriarchal society, and exploitation in a consumer culture where the female body is considered an object. In her novel, Atwood examines issues pertaining to the subjugation of women, such as gender inequality and the flaws of the patriarchal system.

『기생 및 창기에 관한 서류철』의 해제(解題)와 ‘일제 통감부의 공창제도 이식(移植)’에 관한 연구

This study analyzed and examined prostitute-related documents (from September to October 1908 and in March 1909) on the enactment preparation, issuance, enforcement, detailed regulation, report format, etc, of the second document type on 2) the Prostitute Regulation Law (Prostitution System) among four types of documents composing the records of Gisaeng and Changgi. Then, this study conducted a thorough analysis of the “prostitute-related documents” while maintaining academic objectivity and neutrality.
 First, the Prostitution System targeted the prostitutes involved in a prostitution business on the Korean Peninsula during the end of the Korean Empire Period. It was a Japanese-style prostitution system which was forcibly implemented by the Japanese colonial ruler. In fact, the Japanese Resident-General arranged all the related policies, enacted and announced related laws, laid down phased and detailed guidelines, and made the Japanese police officers manage and supervise the prostitutes.
 Second, the Korean Peninsula did not originally have a nationally authorized prostitution system. In September 25, 1908, right before the colonization of the Joseon Dynasty, the Japanese Resident-General implemented the firstever prostitution system for Korean prostitutes. In other words, the Records of Gisaeng and Prostitute are bitter records on process of how the Korean Peninsula, which strictly prohibited any prostitution involving money, was degraded into an immoral society in which people traded sex without any legal punishment.
 Third, the National Unified Prostitution Law was enacted in Japan on October 2nd, 1900. The Prostitution System, forcibly implemented on September 25, 1908 by the Japanese Resident-General, was the lighter edition of the National Unified Prostitution Law restructured based on the circumstances of the colonized countries, such as Taiwan.
 Finally, a correct understanding and new perception toward the Korean modern history of Gisaeng and prostitutes need to be formed by clearly distinguishing and understanding the concepts of Gisaeng Group as the artist group that inherited the tradition of female musicians and the prostitute group as a group who lived off of prostitution during The Korean Empire’s turning point of modernization.

Roman Prostitution Through Plautus’ Theatre

The main issue addressed in this paper is the study of the prostitution business in the mid-Republican period from the point of view of theatre. Theatre appeared in Rome in 240 BC, and, from that time on, we find plays that are of great value to our understanding of the Roman society of this period. For this reason, we will focus on the comedies of Plautus, representing the genre of the fabula palliata. By taking this documentation as a basis, one can analyse the role of prostitutes and procurers in his comedies, on whom we are given extensive information through humour. Despite possible exaggerations, the models used by the author allow us to approach the reality of that period (the end of the 3rd and the 2nd century BC).

Transformation of Prostitution Services and Stigma Against Prostitutes (WTS)

Advances in digital technology have encouraged prostitution service providers to transform from conventional prostitution to cyber prostitution by maximizing the use of information technology. This transformation also creates opportunities and threats for Prostitute Women (WTS) when they are active in the practice of the prostitution business. Although the vehicle for WTS practice has changed, the stigma against WTS continues to grow and is even more varied. This research explains comprehensively about the social environment of WTS; the growing stigma against WTS, the transformation of prostitution business services in the digital era, and how WTS's efforts to survive in the business. This article uses the literature review method. The results of this study found that in daily work activities, WTS often experience stigma and threats of violence from their surroundings and workplace. This stigma has resulted in the emergence of post-traumatic stress so that the mental health of WTS is disturbed and often feels afraid to face the surrounding environment. Another finding is that the transformation of prostitution services from conventional to cyber in fact does not reduce the stigma against WTS. Stigma against it is increasingly varied. Even so, WTS' drive to persist in cyber prostitution remains high. In fact, the work orientation of WTS in cyber prostitution is no longer just economic fulfillment, but to participate in the development of current trends. In order to survive in the transformed prostitution business, the social capital of WTS needs to be turned into a social security network for WTS to manage their stigma and minimize the threat of violence can naturally sustain cyber prostitution.

Representation of the Social Dynamics of Ex-Localization Communities in Doll’s Batik, Surabaya

Since the 1960s the largest prostitution area in Southeast Asia has been located in the Dolly-Jarak borough, Putat Jaya urban village, Sawahan sub-distict, Surabaya City, Indonesia. The Surabaya City Government officially declared the borough closed on June 18, 2014. Ending the prostitution business not only requires this closure but must be accompanied by an impactful and sustainable alternative professions for those involved. Training provided by the government includes making snacks, herbal drinks, crafts, fashion products, household products, sewing and batik. Since 2014, Batik SMEs (Small Medium Enterprises) have increased significantly owing to demand from housewives since UNESCO declared batik as Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity on October 2, 2009. Every region in Indonesia competes to produce unique batik motifs representing the identities of their respective communities. This includes the Dolly-Jarak village, Sawahan sub-distict, which has a unique motif. Since 2014 the butterfly motif with its various variants has dominated batik in the region of Dolly’s ex-localization. This research was conducted in February-July 2019 with the aim of finding out the meaning of Dolly’s unique batik motifs which became the visual dialectic of Dolly’s ex-localization residents with their social problems. Visual methodology (Gillian Rose) becomes the method of analysis, especially in the area “site of image it self“ and “the site of the production”.

Efforts to Legalize the Prostitution Business and Its Relationship with Gender Equality Based on the Perspective of Normative Law and Economics in Indonesia

This article was created to provide a discussion that the legalization of the prostitution business cannot be legalized for the collective benefit of the community from a normative and economic perspective. The choice of the topic of this article is motivated by the author's personal awareness of normative issues in society. In addition, the researcher also tries to prove the consequences of this legalization on the discourse on gender equality and how the main problem of disparity between male-female competencies will not be resolved in this regard. Not only do we need to change the norms in society for this legalization to work, but also how fundamental changes to Indonesian law, such as the Marriage Law, are also needed and certainly require a lot of resources. Interesting discourse circulating in social circles regarding legalizing prostitution that prostitution is an immoral activity, or my body my choice, and claims that legalizing will create a better working environment for prostitutes are some of the elements of this article. Do not forget a study of the validity/absoluteness of a person's right to freedom to choose anything for himself.

Sexual exploitation and violence of prostituted children

This study examines sexual exploitation and violence against prostituted children in East Java, Indonesia. Children who are involved in the commercial sex industry are generally prone to become victims of exploitation, violent acts, and other child abuse. This case study employs a qualitative research method to examine the various hardships experienced by prostituted children in East Java, Indonesia. The researchers interviewed ten prostituted children, seven “grey chickens” (female high school students doubling as prostituted children), eight former prostituted children, five pimps, eight procurers, and seven male customers in Surabaya City and Pasuruan Regency. This study found that, in the Indonesian commercial sex industry, prostituted children generally experience severe exploitation and violent acts. The children’s struggle to survive in the Indonesian prostitution business is a challenging condition because of their weak bargaining position: their subordinate status in the Indonesian patriarchal ideology, their weak position as children confronting adults, as well as their low socioeconomic position. The efforts to make policies to prevent exploitation and violence against prostituted children by the government and non-government agencies thus should take into account the conditions of the prostituted children as well as the driving factors for the child prostitution business that takes place in Indonesia.

This research uses the approach of Criminal Law, Criminology, and Social Structure. The research method used is qualitative research, where the writer directly looks at existing social phenomena and seeks field facts through observation, interviews, and investigations.

One of the ineffectiveness of law enforcement is the problem of law enforcement apparatuses and bribery resources that occur within the law enforcement environment. In addition, this business also deals directly with business and economic investment holders.
