Cerb1021: Sp cq current response
1. What is the police department's current policy in dealing with street prostitution?
Its seems to be to try to survey high activity areas, push prostitutes out of certain areas, and control.
2. What is the prosecutor's current policy regarding prostitution-related offenses?
These offenses tend to be small with the people involved being released said to be 48 hours after.
3. What are the typical sentences handed out to those who are convicted?
These sentences tend to be light and not very strict according to the information ive read. Prostitutes will often be released within 48 hours, and other people involved will be referred to other things as opposed to incareceration or typical strict punishment.
4. Do the prostitutes and clients complete those sentences?
Very rarely, it's written that most are released within 48 hours, and clients will plead guilty to receive lighter charges and move on.
5. What effect, if any, does the imposition of a sentence have on subsequent involvement in prostitution?
Its not seen to have any long-term effect of deterrence , as the clients will either go somewhere else, and the prostitutes will just go back onto the street.
6. What responses do police officers use, other than arrest and prosecution?
The police will often use warnings to clients, property owners and prostitues, and force the prostitutes to move to another area.
7. Are any of these responses especially effective?
These responses will just put off the problem for a slight amount of time, often moving the problem somewhere else, and never address the root underlying causes.
8. What social, health and substance abuse treatment services are available to assist prostitutes?
There are rehab centers, battered women centers, government housing, and mental health services.
9. Are prostitutes using available services?
The services are used but the effectiveness varies from person to person, as many suffer from drug addiction and run back to the streets.

1. To what extent are street prostitutes, clients and pimps engaged in the sale or use of drugs?
Some are drug-dependent (e.g., Lacy: heroin addict), which increases vulnerability to violence and theft.
Drug use sometimes drives prostitution activity; they may lower prices or move locations based on immediate needs.
Prostitution & Cocaine report shows drug-dependent prostitutes are more dangerous to themselves and clients. Some clients buy drugs to exchange for sex (Detective Wright: arrested with prostitute in car).
Engagement is opportunistic, not universal.No direct evidence from interviews, but informal networks may facilitate drug use or dependency among prostitutes.
