在英国和国际上，对性工作的监管仍然是一个有分歧的话题。在英国，监管性产业的政策不断被修订和辩论，但很少以性工作者的经验为依据。基于对英国49名性工作者的定性访谈，本文发现室内性工作者对警察的正面体验远高于室外性工作者。尽管存在这种差异，但室内和室外性工作者都是通过其作为性工作者的污名化地位的透镜来看待与警察的互动，并不期望警察给予尊重的待遇。本文提出了令人信服的证据，执法为主导的警务方法创造了不可逾越的障碍，保护性警务的成功。
The regulation of sex work continues to be a divisive topic in England and internationally. Policies governing the policing of the sex industry in England are continually revised and debated, but are seldom grounded in empirical evidence of sex workers' experiences. Based on 49 qualitative interviews with sex workers in England, this article finds that indoor sex workers had far more positive experiences with the police than outdoor sex workers. Despite this difference, both indoor and outdoor sex workers perceive their interactions with the police through the lens of their stigmatized status as sex workers and do not expect respectful treatment by the police. This article presents compelling evidence that an enforcement-led approach to policing creates insuperable barriers to the success of protective policing.
