Proponents of legalizing prostitution believe it would
reduce crime, improve public health, increase tax
revenue, help people out of poverty, get prostitutes off
the streets, and allow consenting adults to make their
own choices. They contend that prostitution is a
victimless crime, especially in the 11 Nevada counties
where it remains legal.
Opponents believe that legalizing prostitution would
lead to increases in sexually transmitted diseases such
as AIDS, global human trafficking, and violent crime
including rape and homicide. They contend that
prostitution is inherently immoral, commercially
exploitative, empowers the criminal underworld, and
promotes the repression of women by men.
