the sex buyer law

What is the Sex Buyer Law?
The Sex Buyer Law is a highly effective legal framework for preventing commercial sexual exploitation. It has three key components:

The buying of sex acts is criminalised
The selling of sex acts is decriminalised
Support and exiting services are provided for those exploited through prostitution
The Sex Buyer Law was first introduced in Sweden in 1999 and has been shown to be highly effective in reducing demand for prostitution and making the country in question a more hostile destination for traffickers.


Article in the Mail today. How can it be illegal to buy but legal to sell.  There are more important laws to bring in to stop asylum seakers raping our children.

The article just states MP's are going to consider a report. Until there's a major change in UK law it's not illegal to buy or sell sex. As it stands some councils and police are turning a blind eye to 'kerb crawling' in some parts of the country so it remains to be seen if it ever becomes law.

* It's very easy there's loads of similar examples eg not illegal to drink alcohol but illegal to be drunk in public, also legal to smoke at 16 but illegal to buy 'till 18.

Big discussion on the main part of the forum about it, makes interesting reading. 
I tend to go there for these types of topics because you get far more views expressed and some useful info comes up.
