What are the four models suggested by Helen Reynolds on how government could approach prostitution?

What will be an ideal response?


Helen Reynolds proposes these four different models of how government could approach prostitution:
1. Laissez-faire model: Prostitution is illegal but no active enforcement or prosecution is pursued; the risk of arrest is low for prostitutes, and competition flourishes among many different types of prostitutes.
2. Regulation model: Prostitution is legal, but only in settings that are licensed by authorities, such as brothels; prostitution in unlicensed settings is attacked by police.
3. Zoning model: Prostitution is permitted in particular areas of a community; prostitution may be legal or illegal in these areas, but the police would arrest prostitutes only outside these neighborhoods.
4. Control model: Prostitution is illegal and enforcement and prosecution are actively pursued everywhere; the risk of arrest is high everywhere and much prostitution is forced underground.
