Book Description:

In her comparative study, Pluskota looks at how the role of prostitutes is redefined beyond that of the criminal and placed within their families, neighbourhoods and larger social networks. Using police and judicial records, she provides a valuable corrective to the narrow analysis of prostitutes in terms of immorality or deviance.
