prostitution regimes, or “sets of laws
and practices governing prostitution that shape prostitution in their respective
jurisdictions in distinct ways,” are broken down into three major approaches:
prohibitionism, abolitionism, and regulation.! Prohibitionism criminalizes
prostitution entirely, making both prostitute and client subject to prosecution.
Abolitionism, which has been embraced by Sweden, seeks to shun the practice of
prostitution by criminalizing third parties while legally protecting the prostitute.
