[liffey]

Some reading for you this afternoon, on how the famous Nordic Model has been implemented in practice. Or, The Law Of Unintended Consequences. Also, what gets measured, gets managed.

Don't worry, it's in English.

With increased focus on human trafficking fighting prostitution has become a higher status issue in the police force. But the police do not go after prostitution as such; they go after prostitutes with an immigrant background.

“Do the police actually fight prostitution as such? They are very hard on some groups, while they tolerate others. This means that prostitution politics in practice are selective, they primarily affect immigrant women,” says sociologist Synnøve Jahnsen.
