      You’re welcome to present data to that end. Everything I’ve seen indicates that criminalization worsens working conditions for sex workers and raises the risk of violence. The only negative outcome I know of from legalization is that it apparently leads to increased trafficking, but I don’t see that as an impossible challenge to solve that negates all of the positives of legalization.
