[edit] New article at drugs and prostitution

This article is a new article covering the general phenomenon of drug use among prostitutes and prostitution among drug addicts, and so, I hope, should not be confused with the previously transwiki'd "crack whore" article. -- Karada 11:37, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Since the epidemic of drug abuse in America is driving the expanding epidemic of AIDS, there need to be links from this article to articles discussing HIV/AIDS. ````

[edit] To do

  • Explain difference between the phenomena of drug use among prostitutes and prostitution among drug addicts (not all prostitutes who use recreational drugs are driven to prostitution by their habit, but the two subcultures are still closely linked).
  • Statistics, with sources.

[edit] Hmmmm

Somehow, while i haven't actually visited Saints Mark 151 apt 5, I doubt that it really does belong to a crack whore. Though granted, i could be wrong. Anyway, i don't think it should stay, unless Wiki wants to become an advertising medium for prostitution.

[edit] Rent

What does Rent (musical) have to do with prostitution? I've seen the play, and as far as I recall there were no whores in it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.72.161 (talk) 09:33, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References?!

There is not a single reference in this article, even though statements are written as if they were a fact.

Some examples,

"...some drug addicts, most commonly heroin or crack cocaine users, obtain their drugs primarily through prostitution."

"Such addicts most commonly take part in street prostitution..."

"...many brothels do not want to employ visible drug users."

"The stereotype of a drug addict...", this whole paragraph needs references.

"correlation between street prostitution and illegal drug use is high."


Where do all these and other statements come from? The material is not verifiable and do not follow Wikipedia's core policies.
