Agreed but it's not that black and white. The overall success of the decriminalization also depends on the culture and education level of the populace and the ability of the govt to enforce the laws. From, what i remember of my talk with ngo friends in india, in a poor developing country like india or bangladesh, legalization of prostitution would actually increase the trafficking.
Similar reason why allowing everyone firearms works in Scandinavian countries but is an issue in the US
- amarant 8y agowhich Scandinavian country allows everyone to have firearms? As a swede I thought I would have known about this, yet to the best of my knowledge there are quite strict rules around it, especially when compared to the us, in every Scandinavian country.
- pasiaj 8y agoWe don't allow everyone firearms in Scandinavian countries. We're quite strict, actually. Finland has a very high number of (hunting) weapons. It is significantly harder to get a pistol or a semi-automatic weapon. Switzerland, I think, allows semi-automatic firearms for almost everybody, and has more liberal gun laws in general.
- hekfu 8y agoNot nearly as liberal as the US though. Afaik you are very much limited where you are allowed to have ammunition loaded into the rifle, concealed carry isn't a thing at all and the police can ban you from owning guns
