Keep in mind your actual goal.

If it is to stop sexual relations outside of those of married couples of opposite sex, say so.
If it is to protect sex workers from mistreatment, say so.
If it is to protect minors from predators, say so.
If it is to remove all rewards tor sexual intercourse, say so. (Sometimes couples reward each other for a pleasant meal and a movie with this sinful activity. Just because it isn’t cash doesn’t mean cash wasn’t spent to get it or that there weren’t rewards involved in one form or another.)

When you have decided and clearly said so, consider what might actually achieve that goal. Solutions which don’t solve the actual problem are just distractions and are often counterproductive — they make the real problem worse.

Decide how much damage you are willing to do to achieve your goal.

David for clarity

When the risk outweigh the earthly rewards for procurers (pimps), then this crime will diminish.

Targeting johns is a good deterrant (deterrent), a life of hard labor is a good one for procurers.

But you have to make sure that they work hard, and under difficult conditions.

And don’t forget porn. Often made with trafficked women. Not to mention how it warps minds and fuels the trafficking industry. And don’t forget the obscenity laws that have gone unenforced under Obama’s administration. Definitely arrest the “johns”.

Curb demand?
Neuter all males?
Anything less and you will still have some demand.

Take this up the line from the exploited women and men on the streets through their pimps through their bosses right to the root and find out who is really making huge amounts of money in this flesh trade.
Bet if the real heads were named we’d all be surprised at the upstanding citizens who are behind much of this.
Human trafficking to Drug trafficking the street level is an easy and BIG NEWS thing that quickly dies off after someone has been in the news and on t.v.
Expose the heads of this terrible business no matter who they are.

I agree! Why go after just the girls/boys who are on the street? In most cases-they are being forced to do so. Go after the low lifes who drive the demand for it! These sick people need to put in prison and left there. So many lives are ruined, never to be repaired. I pray for all these young girls/boys who are kidnapped and forced into this life. It is just so very sad. We have to try something different because whats been done in the past surely hasn’t slowed it down at all.
Prayers to all those out there that need it!
