Summary

On November 2004, the Canadian Standing Committee on Justice, Human Rights, Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness gave the Subcommittee on Solicitation Laws the mandate to examine prostitution laws in order to improve the safety of sex workers and of the whole community. The RCMP as well as many other witnesses were invited to appear before the Committee and to submit a brief. The Committee released its report in December 2006 (Canada. Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights, 2006). In the following months the RCMP started a study on prostitution from the police perspective to document issues at stake and the impact of the status quo, of legalization and decriminalization on the police (LeBeuf, 2006). At the same time, in order to evaluate the impact of decriminalization of prostitution on police action and roles, interviews and field work were conducted with police officers and non governmental organizations (NGOs) in the Netherlands in January 2006. This report is a summary of a case study on the Dutch situation.
