Compare and contrast a call girl and a streetwalker.

What will be an ideal response?


A call girl is often from a middle-class background and may be a college graduate. She dresses expensively and lives in an upscale neighborhood. Though she charges high rates, her expenses to maintain an upscale lifestyle are also high. She usually sees her clients in her residence, which allows her to control the setting in which she works. Call girls have considerable autonomy and their physical and health risks are reduced by the setting in which they work.

 

In most communities, the most visible sex worker is the streetwalker. She is generally less attractive and less fashionably dressed than the call girl, and correspondingly charges less. She is more likely to impose time constraints on the customer. Because her mode of operation is obvious, she is likely to be arrested. Because streetwalkers have relatively little control over the conditions in which they work, they are also at a greater risk of disease and violence at the hands of her customers and pimps, and even police officers.
