 One of Weitzer's objectives is to assess which kinds of regulations are (1) most sensible, (2) most likely to win public support, (3) best suited to reducing risks and harms, and (4) most likely to preserve public order.There is much room for debate here, and each nation that has legalized prostitution has had to grapple with these difficult questions.Weitzer's book advocates about 30 "best practices" that he thinks should be taken into account by any nation considering legalization.
