Description

Red Light, Blue Light offers an in-depth sociological examination based on extensive interviews with forty women working as prostitutes. Rather than relying on stereotypes, this Routledge study explores the personal developmental experiences and socio-situational factors that shape entry into sex work, revealing how women make rational occupational choices within complex circumstances. The book analyzes the transmission of skills and values within the industry, whilst examining how individuals subjectively define, perceive and rationalise their activity. By moving beyond traditional depictions of prostitutes, the author provides nuanced insight into the economic, social and personal dimensions of sex work. Essential reading for students of sociology, anthropology, criminology and social policy, this academic text contributes to informed discourse on gender, labour and social inequality.
