How people move from deviant to conventional lifestyles is an issue that has attracted considerable interest over the past few years. However, much of this work has focused on men desisting from crime. This book provides one of the first examinations of desistance which is centred on women and, more specifically, how they exit prostitution.

Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) have become the main sanction for dealing with anti-social behaviour in the UK. This book provides one of the first assessments of this sanction, which has become widely used but remains extremely controversial.The report is based on detailed interviews with ASBO recipients, practitioners and community representatives in areas affected by anti-social behaviour. Examining its use and impact from these various perspectives, the book assesses the effects of ASBOs on the behaviour and attitudes of recipients as well as examining the various issues which arise in relation to their implementation.The report should be read by academics and students who want to make sense of ASBOs, practitioners who are involved in implementing them as well as policy makers who are responsible for designing this sanction. It will also be of interest to all those who have an interest in addressing the issue of anti-social behaviour.

This book examines the role of law in women’s involvement in and their exit from indoor prostitution. It examines the historic development of the existing legal framework and the resulting polarised contemporary legal and policy framings of prostitution which have produced and reproduce two distinct ‘ideal’ legal subjects — the vulnerable victim and public nuisance that is the street prostitute and the agentic, entrepreneurial indoor prostitute.Addressing the origins of these two subjects of prostitution and examining the discursive frameworks which have led to their solidification in law, this book aims to provide a robust, methodologically and theoretically sound evaluation of the law’s construction of indoor prostitution and the contested legal frameworks which emerged in response. Analysing empirical data from 53 women, 8 practitioners and three case studies of the law in action, and adopting a critical realist methodology, this book provides a detailed socio-legal examination of the law surrounding prostitution from the perspective of those it seeks to regulate. It is intended to provide evidence and guidance to support legislators and policy makers, and support for practitioners advocating for women involved in indoor prostitution. This work is timely given attention to the regulation of prostitution locally, regionally and globally, and the potential gender equality implications of different regulatory models.
