RobX 2084 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 There is a new research paper out this month on the history of prostitution laws in Canada, by Simon Fraser University criminologist John Lowman, who has written extensively on prostitution laws in Canada, entitled "Deadly Inertia: A History of Constitutional Challenges to Canada?s Criminal Code Sections on Prostitution" ( http://24.85.225.7/lowman_prostitution/HTML/deadly_inertia/Lowman_Deadly_Inertia.pdf ). The paper provides a history of prostitution laws in Canada, focusing on the various court challenges to these laws over the years. It concludes with a discussion of the new challenges to the law currently before the courts in Ontario and BC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
