Those that favor legalizing prostitution argue that it is a “victimless crime” and that what goes on between consenting adults in private should not be a matter for law enforcement.
Problems related to illegal prostitution include the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, and prostitution falling under the control of organized crime.
Critics of legalization argue that legalizing prostitution does not stop the health and crime problems associated with prostitution but simply pushes it into illegal trade.
Other critics argue that legalized prostitution does create victims: the prostitutes themselves.
The Functionalist Perspective Deviant behaviors, such as prostitution and
pornography, continue to exist because they perform important functions for society, such asestablishing the acceptable morality for societyproviding for a wider array of sexual outlets and
services in a society that places restrictions on what is acceptable sexual conduct
Sexual deviance has to do with varying definitions of reality and with the impact of labeling and stigmatization on self-concept and self-worth. The result is a competition of “moral
entrepreneurs” with each trying to impose its definition of what is moral on society as a whole.
