Swedes almost wiped out prostitution by prosecuting men who buy sex

Annie Brown reports on the Daily Record:

GROUNDBREAKING laws that have almost wiped out prostitution in Sweden could be introduced in Scotland. The Swedes stopped punishing the prostitutes – and instead criminalised the men who buy sex. Before the legislation came in nine years ago, 2500 women worked Stockholm’s streets. Now there are 100. And the number of punters has dropped by 80 per cent.
