I find it interesting that many sources say that child prostitution in the Netherlands has increased with the legalization of prostitution. Also, I’ve seen people stating that as much as a quarter of the prostitutes in the Netherlands are a result of human trafficking. However, even though a large percentage of European prostitutes are driven to become prostitutes by their drug addiction (according to BBC news), only about 10% of the prostitutes in the Netherlands had this incentive. Additionally, many people see the Netherlands as much safer for prostitutes than other countries.
Also, as a side note, the last link is entirely in Dutch. However, if I can find anyone who can read Dutch (hint, hint ^_^), I think it might be an interesting source. Apparently the site has about 40,000 visitors a day.

I’m not sure how to analyze the online manifestation of my topic. One way is just to see the different opinions posed and who those opinions come from. I’m not really sure how else to analyze the online components that I found…

...and just so that I have this link for later…I was thinking about finding this book in the library : http://www.amazon.com/Everyday-Workers-Netherlands-Approaches-Sociology/dp/0415972345 .
