Ethical issues: prostitution & sex industry; Crime & criminology

Winner of the British Society of Criminology Annual Book Prize 2022.

As the labour market continues to exploit workers by offering precarious, low-paid and temporary jobs, for some duality offers much-needed flexibility and staves off poverty.

Based on extensive empirical work, this book illustrates contemporary accounts of individuals taking extraordinary risks to hold jobs in both sex industries and non-sex work employment. It also opens a dialogue about how sex industries are stratified in the UK in terms of race and culture against the backdrop of Brexit.

Debunking stereotypes of sex workers and challenging our stigmatisation of them, this book makes an invaluable contribution to discourses about work, society and future policy.

Reviews for Work, Money and Duality: Trading Sex as a Side Hustle

"""In this time of enhanced precarity, the lens of duality through which to understand sex work has never been more important. This research contributes significantly to our knowledge of, reflections upon and understanding of sex work."" Teela Sanders, University of Leicester ""A stellar contribution to the literature on sex work and the first complex analysis of duality that honours sex workers' lived experiences. Deeply inspiring, essential reading and beautifully written."" Maggie O'Neill, University College Cork"
