Why prostitution should be legalized.

After reading about the tragic fate of many prostitutes
and the ineffectiveness of law and police in preventing
crime associated with the profession, one can only wonder
whether the only answer is legalization.

People say that professions like prostitution should
be discouraged, not worked around; they also say
that underage sex should be discouraged, yet the
U.S and several other developed countries hand out
contraceptives in schools and enforce sex education;
why? Because underage sex is inevitable, no matter
what the percentage, but by helping to encourage
protected and safe sex, the possible associated
negative effects , such as unwanted pregnancies and
sexually transmitted diseases can be minimized.

So why should prostitution be legalized? Simply to help
minimize the negative effects associated with it, such
as the rape of prostitutes, forced prostitution and child
prostitution. When a victim feels like the law accommodates
them, they are more likely to report.
