BE
SURE TO FOLLOW THE FILE-NAMING CONVENTIONS FOR THIS COURSE
(5% penalty if you do not).
All files should be saved on your computer as: your last name, followed by an underscore ("_"),
followed by the first two letters of your first name, followed
by an underscore ("_"), followed
by the assignment number. So if a student named Saddam Hussein
were to submit assignment number 15, the file name would
be:

DON'T STOP UNTIL YOU SEE END OF ASSIGNMENT.
In this 550 - 750 word essay (250 words is roughly one page of double-spaced 12-point font text -- so this assignment asks for 2.25 -3.25 pages of writing; see details below) answer the following question:
What can the historical experience of sex work in New York City advise us about the best approach for law enforcement to take regarding sex work today. Prove at least two and no more than four recommendations.
To be clear, then, for every recommendation you make for law enforcement today, you must explain how and why the historical experience of sex work in New York City (as documented in City of Eros and Love for Sale) leads you to that conclusion. You should have at least three quotations from City of Eros and three from Love for Sale.
Of course, you should also draw upon the arguments for and against legalization from Melissa Grant, "The War on Sex Workers" and Janice Raymond, Ten Reasons for Not Legalizing Prostitution
If you attend(ed) the 10/22 talk outside of class and do not want to write a 500-word summary of that talk, you will need to include evidence or ideas from that talk in this essay; you will also need have at least 675 words in this essay.
In those paragraphs in which you present evidence (but not those, like introductions or conclusions), adopt the cl/ev/wa structure and other instructions in the gray box below.
As always, your CLAIM is the answer to the question and claims, as we have discussed, are stronger if they contain a reason.
