Description

Red Light, Blue Light: Prostitutes, Punters and the Police by Routledge offers a deep look into the lives of women working in prostitution. Moving away from traditional stereotypes, this book is built on extensive interviews with forty women to provide a realistic perspective on their lived experiences. This work examines the personal development and socio-situational factors that influence why women enter this field. It presents prostitution not as an inevitable circumstance, but as a rational occupational choice for some. Readers will gain insight into how the skills and values of the business are passed down and how the individuals involved subjectively define and rationalize their work. Ideal for students and professionals in anthropology and sociology, this book provides a necessary analysis of the social dynamics at play. By focusing on how individuals perceive their own activity, it offers a unique look at the human side of a complex social issue.
