Interesting study

I've seen plenty of other studies which came to precisely the same conclusions, the earliest of which was conducted in Denmark in the 1950s; that one found that after the decriminalization of pornography and the official tolerance of prostitution, the number of rapes in all of Denmark for the following decade was roughly similar to the number of rapes in Copenhagen alone for the previous year. In fact, I was looking for that study when I found this one.
I know not about the other studies you cite so I can't make a comment about them but there is one inescapable truth about research: "Garbage in. Garbage out."

This study's flaws aren't nearly as egregious as the garbage "studies" the radical feminists and gay rights lobby get the public to eat every year.
Agreed and let us not forget about "Global Warming".

I give you credit for at least being open to the causes of global warming (if there is one) but the subject at hand is about lowering the incidence of rape by legalizing prostitution.

My apologies.

No apologies necessary. If you can find a way to reduce rapes here by 25,000/year, all of us would love to hear it. Its all about new ideas.....
