Ethical issues: prostitution & sex industry; Crime & criminology

Using unpublished email interviews collected for a Home Office project on the sex industry, this anthology presents the individual stories of sex workers and buyers in England and Wales, in their own words.

The author Natasha Mulvihill also re-interviews the participants to reflect on their original interview, their experience of engaging in research and of managing through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Of interest to policy-makers and students of Criminology, Sociology, Social Policy, Law and Qualitative Methods, the text seeks to navigate through the difficult politics of the sex industry and re-focus our understanding on the lived experiences of those involved.

A must-read for everyone interested in sex work."" Gemma Ahearne, University of Liverpool ""Foregrounding sex workers' voices with insight and empathy, the book presents an innovative approach to narrative, participant-centred research that will prove invaluable to those interested in innovative approaches to studying the sex industry's nuanced socio-cultural terrain.""
