Abstract
Should prostitution be legalized? Those who are against the legalization of prostitution argue that it spreads sexually transmitted diseases. They also say that it is unethical and increases violent crimes toward prostitutes. On the other hand, those who are in favor of legalized prostitution say that it helps reduce the spread of STDs by promoting safe sex. Advocates insist that it reduces the amount of violence within the prostitution ring and produces great revenue for the government. The purpose of this study is to view the pros and cons regarding the legalization of prostitution. This paper will discuss in depth why prostitution should be legalized and how it would benefit the United States. By using previously published peer reviewed articles, it will assist in determining whether or not legal prostitution would help reduce the spread of STDs, reduce violence within the prostitution industry, and increase revenue by creating new jobs.
