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Using unpublished email interviews collected for a Home Office project on the sex industry, this anthology presents the individual stories of sex workers and buyers in England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 interviews, their experience of engaging in research and of managing through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Of interest to policymakers 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.
