“…The plight of DMST victims has not received adequate research attention (Clawson, Dutch, Solomon, & Goldblatt Grace, 2009;Willis & Levy, 2002). Historically, victims of DMST were not differentiated from individuals working as prostitutes; they were subject to legal retribution and social stigmatization (Esselstyn, 1968;Flowers, 1998) and considered willing and blame-worthy participants in a victimless crime.…”

Running head: PUTTING THE PIECES BACK TOGETHER Putting the Pieces Back Together: A Group Intervention for SexuallyExploited Adolescent Girls KRISTINE E. HICKLE and DOMINIQUE E. ROE-SEPOWITZ Arizona State University, School of Social Work, Phoenix, AZ, USA Domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) is an emerging problem affecting adolescents, families, and communities throughout the United States. Despite a growing awareness of the problem, information regarding treatment is limited. This paper describes a pilot group intervention created for use with DMST victims, focusing specifically on areas that were critical to the development and life of the group: 1) providing education about DMST, 2) reducing shame and addressing stigma, 3) mutual aid, and 4) managing strong emotions through the development of new coping skills. Process examples are given to illustrate this pilot intervention, and recommendations for research and practice are discussed.

“…Some have argued about whether or not a person who sells their body once is considered a prostitute (Bullough & Bullough, 1996). Esselstyn (1968) provided a vague definition of prostitution as "sex relations with anyone on a contract basis" (p. 124). Williamson and Folaron (2001) defined prostitution as selling or trading of sexual activities for money, a place to stay, or other items, which best identifies with the current research.…”

Women who have been prostitutes are social work clients in many clinical, correctional, and community settings. Unique programming that addresses the high levels of trauma symptoms reported by prostituted women has yet to be explored. The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of a group trauma and abuse intervention for prostituted women from two settings, prison and a community exiting program. A quasi-experimental research design was used. Twenty-nine women participated in a 12-week psychoeducational trauma and abuse intervention program called Esuba. All participants reported decreases in trauma symptoms, but the prison group showed a greater number of significant changes in trauma symptomology than the community group. Implications for practice and future research implications are discussed.

“…The 1970 and1988;and Esselstyn (1968) report an estimate of 600,000 full-time prostitutes at the beginning of the 50s. Our simulation is based on a relatively conservative rate of 70 prostitutes per 100,000 individuals.…”

We examine the consequences of prosecuting HIV+ people who expose others to the infection. We show that the effect of such prosecutions on the spread of HIV is a priori ambiguous. They deter unsafe sex. However, they also create incentives for having sex with more promiscuous partners, consequently increasing the spread of HIV. We test these predictions and find that such prosecutions are associated with a reduction in the number of partners, increase in safe sex, and increase in sex with prostitutes. We estimate that doubling the prosecution rate could decrease the total cumulated number of new HIV infections by a third over a ten-year period.2
