TWO BASIC REASONS WHY PROSTITUTION MUST BE

SUPPRESSED

A. CONTROL OF VENEREAL DISEASE (VD)

Statistics gathered by health organization throughout the world proved

beyond any doubt that venereal disease increased with an increase in the
amount of prostitution.

B. PREVENT ORGANIZED CRIME

The existence of most of this organized crime, the individual citizen and
no one else is to blame. A certain segment of people must be involved in
partaking of the services offered by organized crime

CAUSES OF PROSTITUTION

•Poor social background and personality handicaps are some of the basis
for drift into prostitution.
•Previous sexual experience, mostly unfortunate and in or out of
wedlock.
•Contact with persons in or on the fringe of the business of prostitution.
•A Love for money and luxury on the part of the prostitute.
•Lack of restraining check from neighbors, social environments and
laxity of social control much as the agency for religious training and
reforms.
•The influence of contraceptives and preventive treatment for venereal
diseases.
•Efforts to support another vices such as drug addiction or alcoholism.
•For the unwilling prostitutes, they are victims of white slaves traffic
such as kidnapping innocent girls, keeping them under physical restraint,
forcible abduction of women and victims of crimes against chastity.
•The indifference of law enforcement authorities in safeguarding the
virtues of women and lack of courage of the victim of white slaves trade
to pursue the prosecution of cases they filed against the perpetrators.
•Social causes of prostitution such as:
(a) broken families; (b) anonymity of city life; (c) poverty and others.

CONTROL AND PREVENTION OF PROSTITUTES

A. THE SCHOOL OF REGULATORY CONTROL

–This method maintains the idea that we cannot do away with

prostitution unless we consider the problems and remove the causes of
prostitution.
–The scheme originated from the French System of controlling the
prostitution under the direction of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1808 while he
was trying to protect his soldiers from the vile of prostitute exists as well
as the supply; the practice cannot be totally eliminated.

–Arrests, detention, and punishment of prostitutes would only drive

them to clandestine activities in places where they cannot be effectively
controlled and inspected.

–In view thereof, the following regulatory policy have been adopted to
provide the necessary protection for the society:

•Segregation of brothels and soliciting to restricted district.

•Public licensing of houses of prostitution.

•Registration of prostitutes to protect them from the exploitation of

white slave trade.

•Periodic medical examination of prostitutes and public health

education.

•Legalization of the practice of prostitution under government

supervision and control to make it more realistic.

•That arrest of prostitutes be handled by non-police agencies but should

be take care by social workers and medical men

•Finally, the rehabilitation of prostitutes by providing them jobs and

facilities to earn a
decent living.
B. THE SCHOOL OF TOTAL REPRESSION

–this method believes that prostitution is both a crime and a vice and
therefore, should be repressed and totally prohibited.

–It maintains that chastity and continence should be rules of conduct for
everybody and to allow prostitution would be to abet, immorality and
white slave trade.

–This school of thought argues that it invites men to enjoy promiscuity

free and easy without fear of the law. While it accepts the fact that men
may still indulge in prostitution despite repression measures, but men
would be more cautious, apprehensive and afraid of reproach or arrest
from the police and decent members of the society.

American Plan on the control of Prostitution which suggests the

following method of suppressing prostitution:

•Strict enforcement of all legislation against prostitution and all other

vices or activities connected with it.

•Education of the public regarding sex, prostitution and venereal

diseases.

•Adoption of medical measures and establishments of medical facilities

for the diagnoses and treatment of venereal diseases.

•Adoption of codes of self-regulation and organization of community

cooperation.

•Making it unlawful for both men and women to engage in prostitution.

•Increase of penalties now applicable and existing to prostitution and the
persons who maybe punishable in relation to the practice of prostitution.

peace of the community.

POLICE PROBLEMS IN VICE CONTROL

1. CLANDESTINE NATURE OF THE COMMISSION OF THE

ACTS
–Vice acts are always committed secretly and behind closed doors.

2. LACK OF COOPERATION FROM PLAYERS, CUSTOMERS,

AND VICTIMS OF VICES
–The lack of cooperation among persons who could help the police in
prosecuting vice operators is a severe handicap in enforcing vice laws.

3. ENJOYMENT OF GOODWILL BY VICE OPERATORS

–These goodwill were earned as a result of the past favore extended by
the vice operators to the politicians during the election campaign or help
to put up a business for the influential businessmen. This is an
expression of Filipino "utang-na-loob" sentiments.
4. PUBLIC APATHY AND INDIFFERENCE
–Police control of vice is made difficult by the difference of opinion of
the public as to the nature of regulations to be imposed.

5. UNWILLING GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO WORKED

AGAINST VICE EXISTENCE

existence of vices. Operators of vice dens sometimes control the local
politicians of a city or town.
