Prostitution


Answer

Both the prostitutes and the kerb-crawlers are committing criminal offences by carrying out these actions. You need to inform the police, obtaining as much information about the people involved, the names of those believe to be soliciting and the vehicle registration numbers of any suspected kerb-crawlers. However, do not put yourself at risk. If in doubt contact your nearest police station.

Warning letters, injunctions and prosecution are some of the tactics used by the police and other agencies in an attempt to combat this problem.


Answer

There are many organisations on a local level that offer help and support for prostitutes,  there are also a number of national organisations who will be able to help and will have information on local groups. See the links in Related Information for details. 

These organisations can offer advice on sexual health, counselling and advice on how to leave prostitution.


Answer

Thousands of girls and young women from the U.K. and the rest of the world are groomed, conned, coerced and forced into prostitution in every town and city in the U.K. They are the victims of well organised gangs of criminals that make millions from this awful trade. It is estimated that about 10 - 15% of people reading this answer will have a brothel within a few hundred yards of their home.

This is a 'hidden crime' perpetrated from behind closed doors. If you notice suspicious activity at any premises, you should report the matter to the local police or, anonymously, through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

The organisation Parents against Sexual Exploitation (Pace) has a lot of useful information on the issue including help for worried parents who want to know the signs in case their own children get into the wrong company.
