The overall purpose of my research was to provide evidence for the claim that prostitution should not be legalized in the United States. In my research, I investigated the effects prostitution has on STDs, human sex trafficking, the sex industry, child prostitution, and prostitute abuse. I found that the legalization of prostitution directly correlates to an increase of sexually transmitted diseases, human sex trafficking, underage child prostitution, physical and mental abuse, and an expansion of the corrupt sex industry. This was validated by numerous statistics and facts derived from studies of countries that have already legalized prostitution. I found this topic interesting and relevant because of the alarming rates of illegal prostitution going on in the United States.
