DISCUSSION OF THE NATURE OF PROSTITUTION, THE METHODS AND CHARACTERISTICS OF PANDERERS, AND EXISTING AND RECOMMENDED MEASURES AGAINST THEM IN WEST GERMANY.
Abstract
THE AUTHOR CITES A GROWING SOCIAL TENDENCY TO NO LONGER CONSIDER PROSTITUTION A CRIMINAL OR IMMORAL ACTIVITY. AS A RESULT, IT HAS BECOME MORE LUCRATIVE AND TENDS TO OPERATE IN AN ATMOSPHERE OF LEGITIMATE ENTERTAINMENT RATHER THAN OF SORDID ILLEGALITY. THE AUTHOR CONTENDS, HOWEVER, THAT PROSTITUTION POSES SERIOUS DANGERS BECAUSE IT IS CONTROLLED BY CRIMINALS AND IS CONNECTED WITH OTHER CRIMES SUCH AS EXTORTION AND VIOLENCE. HE FURTHER ASSERTS THE NEED TO OVERHAUL THE LEGAL, INVESTIGATIVE, PROSECUTING, AND CORRECTIONAL PROCEDURES FOR FIGHTING PROSTITUTION AND PANDERING IN ORDER TO DEAL JUSTLY AND EFFECTIVELY WITH THEIR GROWING SOCIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMPLEXITY. THE AUTHOR PROVIDES AN OUTLINE OF LEGISLATIVE, POLICE, COURT, AND CORRECTIONAL MEASURES WHICH HE RECOMMENDS TO FIGHT PANDERING. --IN GERMAN
