I agree that legalization would be the best…but there would still be some issues. Damn eastern Europeans/Russian crooks are giving the Netherlands a hard time over there…I thought I saw some news about that

My experiences are with the Dutch islands and how they worked it out…but that is a smaller footprint. I’m going to comment later since I might head down there

This kind of arrangement would help address the exploitation of institutions run by non-sex working pimps, managers, etc.

Legalization would be the best thing to help focus LE resources against those who actually are traffickers.

I'm not a major fan of legalization. Usually with legalization, the government becomes way more involved than they should have to be. I'm more for decriminalization across the board.

I agree, but for somewhat different reasons. Decriminalization stops the government treating the providers as criminals. If it's decriminalized, but not not legalized it gives the government time to watch the results and react accordingly. For example, if they decriminalized but noticed that obvious instances of trafficking rose they could then create laws specific to that situation (targeting the traffickers or pimps) without further victimizing the trafficked girls. It seems like the fairest way to approach the negative aspects of the business.
