REPORT ON A 1973 ASSESSMENT OF PROSTITUTION IN MUNICH, WEST GERMANY, AND ON A RECOMMENDATION THAT THE CITY ESTABLISH AND DIRECTLY CONTROL HOUSES OF PROSTITUTION.
Abstract
THE ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATION WERE MADE BY THE MUNICH POLIZEIPRAESIDIUM (MUNICIPAL POLICE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE). THE RECOMMENDED SYSTEM AIMS TO PREVENT ROBBERIES, ASSAULTS, AND OTHER CRIMES OFTEN RELATED TO PROSTITUTION. IT ALSO AIMS TO ELIMINATE THE INFLUENCE OF PANDERERS AND TO PREVENT PROSTITUTION IN THE CITY FROM BEING ORGANIZED AND CONTROLLED BY PERSONS WHO WOULD MAKE IT A BASIS FOR CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. THE PLAN INCLUDES DECENTRALIZING THE LOCATION OF THE HOUSES AND INCREASING RESTRICTIONS ON FORMS OF PROSTITUTION NOT CONTROLLED BY THE CITY. THE ARTICLE DISCUSSES THE ADVANTAGES OF RENTING THE LOCATIONS, ALLOWING PRIVATE FIRMS TO BE INVOLVED, AND KEEPING THE PROJECT ENTIRELY UNDER THE CONTROL AND OWNERSHIP OF THE CITY. STATISTICS ARE PROVIDED COMPARING THE NUMBER AND CONCENTRATION OF REGISTERED PROSTITUTES AND HOUSES OF PROSTITUTION IN MUNICH WITH THOSE IN OTHER LARGE GERMAN CITIES. ALSO GIVEN ARE DATA ON THE AGES, INCOMES, AND SOCIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PROSTITUTES IN MUNICH. --IN GERMAN
