Men who use Prostitutes

Studies about male clients of female prostitutes have focused on:

• How the clients compare to the general male population.
• Whether they are violent.
• Whether arresting them deters future visits to prostitutes.

Research has shown that men who visit prostitutes:

• Are substantially deterred from future visits by arrest.
• Are not highly deviant or crime-involved.
• Feel entitled to sex with prostitutes if they are not being satisfied by a conventional partner.
• Do not express opinions that support violence against women.

Men who are violent toward prostitutes:

• Are likely to have a criminal past.
• Are likely to have a history of violent offenses, rape and property crime.
