In sweden, prostitution is legal, so sex workers can contact police without fear. However, pimping, brothels and buying sexual services is illegal.

  Buying sexual services is illegal ? What does that mean ? A prostitute can just finger a client to the police as a client and the client gets arrested ?

    I doubt that would be grounds for an arrest, but there have been stakeouts where they arrested every customer coming out of a certain apartment.

    > Buying sexual services is illegal? It's a way of making prostitution illegal without making the prostitute the one taking the risk. That way a prostitute can report an assault, without fear of recrimination. Also, yes, the punter is taking a bigger risk and therefore less likely to engage such services.
