Abstract
This article considers the likely success of recent reforms of prostitution policy by reflecting on a recent Joseph Rowntree Foundation-funded study that examined the experiences of those living and working in areas of street sex work. This empirical work points to some of the dangers of policy frameworks and techniques of control that continue to situate sex work as antithetical to the cultivation of community safety.Keywords
