The general public’s knee jerk reaction to this
question would most likely be a resounding no, but similar to the debate of
marijuana this is a victimless crime. Many people believe that legalizing
prostitution could bring about several positive externalities, such as: reduced
crime, improved public health, increased tax revenue, bring people out of
poverty, among others. Currently the only state to allow legal prostitution is
Nevada, in which 11 of the counties host 28 brothels. All of the positive
externalities mentioned above have been observed in these counties. Perhaps we
should consider allowing consenting adults to make their own choices. What do
you think?
