Question 1

Prostitution is regarded by many people in Canada as a:&#10;A)victimless crime.&#10;B)corporate crime.&#10;C)crime against the person.&#10;D)white-collar crime.

Accepted Answer

Prostitution is viewed by many as a victimless crime because it is considered a consensual act between two adults. However, the reality is that many sex workers are vulnerable and may be forced into the industry through coercion, poverty, or addiction. Therefore, while individual acts of prostitution may be consensual, the overall system perpetuates exploitation and harm for many individuals involved. Additionally, certain forms of prostitution, such as child prostitution, are universally recognized as criminal acts with victims. Nevertheless, prostitution remains a highly controversial and complex social issue with varying perspectives on its implications and solutions.
