英国防止现代奴隶制和在线性剥削的努力包括评估成人服务网站(ASW)的适度和预防责任。然而，人们对性购买者的角色知之甚少，因为政治修辞认为他们是新废奴主义背景下的性犯罪者(Serughetti 2013)。这篇文章来自一项关于ASW在防止性剥削方面的责任的大规模研究，本文与142名性购买者分享了一项调查结果，了解他们在这一领域的角色。购买者对性工作实践和剥削指标有详细的了解。因此，作为预防难题的参与者，他们处于独特的地位，能够理解监管如何有助于预防犯罪，但同样也会给两厢情愿的在线性行业带来意想不到的后果。
UK efforts to prevent modern slavery and sexual exploitation online include assessing Adult Service Websites’ (ASWs) moderation and prevention responsibilities. Yet little is known about the role of sex buyers, as the political rhetoric assumes they are sexual offenders within the neo-abolitionist context (Serughetti 2013). Drawing from a large-scale study looking at ASWs’ responsibilities in preventing sexual exploitation online, this article shares findings from a survey with 142 sex buyers, understanding their role in this arena. Buyers possess detailed knowledge of sex working practices and indicators of exploitation. Thus, as actors in the prevention puzzle, they are uniquely positioned to understand how regulation can assist in crime prevention but equally create unintended consequences for the consensual sex industry online.
