Prostitution is one of the oldest professions around, whether you agree with it or not, it still has the same repercussions today. From the study by Dr. William Sanger during the 19th century found that younger, mostly illiterate girls with no family network became invloved.

In my opinion it is wrong to deliberately set out to deceive anyone in any circumstances, even promising sexual favours and not delivering. It is still prostitution/deception however, I believe it is the solicitation that is illegal in this country. Prostitution is also associated with other deviant activities and visa versa, such as; drug dealing, gambling, fencing stolen goods etc; (Burnham 1998. p171). Although, from a Sociological perspective, according to Emile Durkheim who demonstrated 'rules of sociological method' regarded crime as inevitable, he concidered crime as normal and part of a healthy society. Therefore, a certain amount of 'crime was acknowledged as functional but too little or too much is pathological' (cited in Downes & Rock 1998. pp89-100).
