Description
This anthology presents the individual stories of sex workers and buyers in England and Wales, in their own words. Using unpublished email interviews collected for a Home Office project, the book offers a unique insight into the experiences of those involved in the sex industry.
The author, Natasha Mulvihill, re-interviews the participants to reflect on their original interviews, their experience of engaging in research and of managing through the COVID-19 pandemic. This nuanced approach seeks to navigate the difficult politics of the sex industry and re-focus our understanding on the lived experiences of those involved.
Of interest to policymakers, students of criminology, sociology, social policy, law and qualitative methods, this text provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of the sex industry. The result is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of a complex and often stigmatised topic.
