Rezensionen

"This work will likely be read by scholars interested in prostitution specifically and sexuality more broadly, where Mattson succeeds best is in taking a specific social problem and showing how it encapsulates cultural dynamics of an institutional nature. ... Mattson's use of key informant interviews provides a specific and substantial contribution to our understanding of how social problems are articulated 'in the trenches' by activists and bureaucrats." (Bayliss J. Camp, American Journal of Sociology, Vol. 122 (4), January, 2017)
