Question by thomaslsyka: If a woman engages in prostitution if she were to be whipped as punishment would she be more likely to..?
cooperate with and successfully complete a treatment program to deal with issues such as drug addiction and past abuse that contribute to her being a prostitute and allow her to turn away from life as a whore

Forget about whipping her if that bothers you and you think that is inappropriate even just to mention it as a possibility and just consider whether she should be punished as a means of guaranteeing compliance with a treatment program
I think some are misinterpreting the question. The question is whether coercive measures are needed to get women who are prostitutes into programs that will deal with isses that led to them being prostitutes and ultimately out of prostitution.

I guess I could ask it is punishment enough? Is treatment enough? Would whipping work? And i think several of the answers are looking at the question in this way.

Oh there was a thing I read about in which was about the idea that girls were engaged in prostitution had to be brought into the criminal justice system before they would cooperate with a program addressing underlying issues: drug addiction, history of childhood abuse, parental abandonment.

*And your actual plans for “a program addressing underlying issues: drug addiction, history of childhood abuse, parental abandonment.” are never stated, Why not? Haven’t got any,huh: What form should this “treatment’ assume? The posttraumatic stress disorder from the many years of abuse, the ensuing personality disorders, the major depressive disorder, suicidality, axiety disorders and other mental illnesses. How should be they be “treated”. What about the broken families (men often choose to get lost once children enter the picture), the poverty, the lack of education, the mental illness and substance abuse issues in the parents and other family members should be “treated”? What about the fact that where I live very many street prostitutes are Aboriginal teens who escaped the poverty, the drug abuse, sexual and physical abuse in their communities, the alcholism, the use of chemicals (like toxic glues) to get high (called “huffing”) in an effort to anaesthatize their own pain on the reservation. Many girls run away from their reserve to escape all this shit. These are all SOCIAL PROBLEMS. Many, if not all, of their parents and grandparents were forced into residential schools by their white masters. Families were broken up, the kids were just ripped away out of the arms of their parents and forced into residential schools run by Catholic and Protestant Churches where they were beaten by their teachers, raped church clergy, both boys and girls alike. TThey were not even allowed to speak their own native languages, it was forbidden, and it was harshly punished. They lost their culture. Now I ask you, how do you propose to “treat” the people who suffered horrendous psychological abuse at the hands of the white man? The cycle of abuse continues: these residential school survivors were so *ucked up it should come as no surprise that “legacy”was passed down to their own kids. Its called the “Cycle of Abuse” and it will go on until something massive ,MUST be done to put a stop to the cycle of abuse.

HOW DO YOU PROPOSE TO STOP THE CYCLE OF ABUSE? HOW DO YOU PROPOSE TO “TREAT” ALL THOSE BROKEN PEOPLE, VICTIMS OF RACISISM NOW FOR MANY GENERATIONS?

It doesn’t take an Einstein to understand WE STOLE THEIR LAND AND DESTROYED THEIR INDIGINOUS SOCIETIES.
WE DESTROYED THEIR CULTURE(S).

You want to punish people because the social problems they were faced with led them to sell their body (poverty,etc, already mentioned elsewhere), WHILE at their “job” they are regularly beaten up by tricks, robbed, raped and sometimes even murdered? How do you plan to treat the resulting social problems if you completely choose to ignore the underlying issues, What you “see” (prostitution) is merely the tip of a giant iceberg, How do you propose to “treat” the social problems directly below the tip of the iceberg?

Prostitution is merely a SYMPTOM of underlying social problems. A society needs to learn to deal effectively with the underlying social problems before any headway can me made on the symptoms.

PLEASE ELABORATE, I AM JUST DYING TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR IDEAS FOR “TREATING” THE VICTIMS OF THESE WELL-KNOWN SOCIAL PROBLEMS.

Maybe the pimp should be whipped instead. He’s the one raking in the money, he’s the one who got her addicted to crack in the first place.

Punishment is not treatment, you appear to have your verbs confused. You have no idea what “treatment” even involves.

I don’t know where you live that you can have such ideas, I’m just glad I don’t live in such a place.
