Description
  1. xiv, 238 p.; 23 cm.
Summary
  1. "Making Work, Making Trouble has long been the pre-eminent study of prostitution in Canada. This second edition has been thoroughly updated to include events that have occurred in the decade since it was originally published. Detailing the various forces that have presented prostitution as a social problem, Deborah R. Brock examines anti-prostitution campaigns, urban development, new policing strategies, and the responses of the media, the courts, and governments, as well as feminist, rights, and residents' organizations." "Paying particular attention to rights and the means of economic survival within global and local realities, this edition includes new material outlining recent discourse on sex trafficking, migrant sex work, and sex-worker rights organizing and considers the potential impact of the Robert Picton trial on the practice of sex work. Making Work, Making Trouble is a comprehensive overview of the crucial debates on prostitution."--Jacket.
