Why are some people in favor of legalizing prostitution?

What will be an ideal response?


Those who favor legalizing prostitution argue that this activity is a victimless crime and that what goes on between consenting adults in private should not be a matter of legal enforcement. Another argument in favor of legalizing prostitution is that illegal prostitution causes problems such as the spread of venereal disease and AIDS and may come under the control of organized crime. It also leads to other related crimes, such as assaults on customers and the use of drugs.
