Some solutions to prostitution

Some solutions to prostitution

From Pos Kota

Despite repeated roundups, prostitutes flocking certain spots of the city are still doing their business as usual. During a recent raid at Taman Pluit Penjaringan, North Jakarta, to resist detention, the women gave various reasons to the officers. The following measures need to be taken into consideration: there is no guarantee that social rehabilitation centers set up to accommodate these women can stop them from returning to their line of business. Another alternative would be to send them back to their respective hometowns after they are rounded up.

The number of their clients are also on the increase over the past few years, as are readily available obscene VCDs at roadside stalls.

To make all such efforts a success, the authorities should nail customers so that the presence of these women can be reduced. A shop could not survive if there were no customers.
