Pimps Quotes



The 13th Amendment prohibited slavery, and she argues that if pimps who force prostitutes to work for them were arrested and prosecuted for slavery, a much more serious crime, it would discourage the pimps and in her view greatly reduce prostitution. Critics argue that other mechanism for the commercial organization of prostitution would replace the pimps. However, the critics have not been able to refute the notion that pimps were the most socially undesirable and criminal elements of prostitution merchandising, and eliminating pimping would be constructive even if there were no change in the number of prostitutes.
