为了探索监狱中妇女的服务需求，作者研究了三种卖淫途径：童年性受害，逃跑和吸毒。研究通常只探讨了这些途径中的一个或两个，和三个入口点之间的关系仍然不清楚。METHODSData对1,142名女性监狱被拘留者被用来研究儿童性受害的影响，逃跑，和药物使用进入卖淫和他们的差异影响的生命courses. METHODS两个不同的途径进入卖淫被确定。离家出走对青少年早期进入卖淫业产生了巨大影响，但对以后的生活影响不大。相比之下，儿童时期的性受害几乎使妇女一生中从事卖淫的可能性增加一倍。虽然吸毒的患病率显着高于妓女之间的nonprostitutes，吸毒并没有解释进入prostitutions. CONCLUSIONSSRunning和童年的性受害提供不同的途径进入卖淫。研究结果表明，希望离开卖淫的妇女可能会受益于不同的心理健康服务策略，这取决于她们经历的卖淫途径。
OBJECTIVETo explore the service needs of women in jail, the authors examined three pathways into prostitution: childhood sexual victimization, running away, and drug use. Studies typically have explored only one or two of these pathways, and the relationships among the three points of entry remain unclear.METHODSData on 1,142 female jail detainees were used to examine the effects of childhood sexual victimization, running away, and drug use on entry into prostitution and their differential effects over the life course.RESULTSTwo distinct pathways into prostitution were identified. Running away had a dramatic effect on entry into prostitution in early adolescence, but little effect later in the life course. Childhood sexual victimization, by contrast, nearly doubled the odds of entry into prostitution throughout the lives of women. Although the prevalence of drug use was significantly higher among prostitutes than among nonprostitutes, drug abuse did not explain entry into prostitution.CONCLUSIONSRunning away and childhood sexual victimization provide distinct pathways into prostitution. The findings suggest that women wishing to leave prostitution may benefit from different mental health service strategies depending on which pathway to prostitution they experienced.
