| Abstract/Citation: | Inter alia contains provisions aimed at reducing the demand for prostitution and shifting the focus of enforcement from those working as prostitutes to those who pay for sex. The provisions include a new offence of paying for sex with someone who has been subject to exploitative conduct and give the courts the power to make premises closure orders where there is evidence of the premises being used for activities relating to certain prostitution and pornography offences. |
