Honestly: I've thought about this a lot for my thesis and the optimal policy isn't super clear to me. Everything is a tradeoff between the extensive and intensive margins. I don't want to talk about this in detail given twitter's Mood today, but I think it is a nice study . . .https://twitter.com/k1ug3/status/1013799233483182080 …

UM I had a post up a while ago but I deep-six'd it at some point. With prostitution generally, you can reduce quantities with some policies (although probably not much); one major cost is that these policies tend to make sex workers voluntary or otherwise much much worse off.

This gets really really really challenging with underage sex workers, for reasons I bet you can imagine. This is a nice ethnographic-ish study of street youth in New York, you can get a handle on some of the trade-offs involved. It's a mess. https://www.urban.org/sites/default/files/publication/42186/2000119-Surviving-the-Streets-of-New-York.pdf …
