What I want to tease out is whether it would it would hurt such people less, for example, if there were to be a consistent social message against the purchase of persons in prostitution. Would Dr. Freedman favour such social messaging? If we consider, for example, the resources we spend on discouraging drink driving, speeding and other kinds of behaviour that we would describe as anti-social or dangerous, directly or indirectly, to other persons, would Dr. Freedman favour a social consensus against prostitution as something that is anti-social?
