Sex Work and Hate Crime

Focusing on the treatment of crimes against sex workers, the book explores the adoption of a hate crime framework in England. It highlights the operational benefits and support for victims that this approach can provide, arguing that it complements, rather than replaces, the decriminalization of sex work. Additionally, the authors assess the broader implications of hate crime policy, discussing its relevance and challenges while advocating for an expanded understanding of hate crimes to include more marginalized groups.
