Liberalism and Prostitution - Oxford Political Philosophy
De Marneffe, Peter (Professor of Philosophy, Professor of Philosophy, Arizona State University)
Civil libertarians characterize prostitution as a "victimless crime," and argue that it ought to be legalized. Feminist critics counter that prostitution is not victimless, since it harms the people who do it. Civil libertarians respond that most women freely choose to do this work, and that it is paternalistic for the government to limit a person's liberty for her own good. In this book the author argues that although most prostitution is voluntary, paternalisticprostitution laws in some form are nonetheless morally justifiable.
