- The document discusses different perspectives on prostitution law and how research should influence policymaking. It outlines definitions of prostitution and differing views on how it should be handled legally. Both research supporting regulation and research against it is presented, with varying strengths and weaknesses. After reviewing the evidence, the final recommendation is for abolitionist policies that decriminalize selling sex but criminalize buying sex.

DIVORCE AS A SOCIAL PROBLEM
When a married couple can not live together comfortably the dissolution of marriage is called ‘divorce’.
Divorce ratio is higher today then compared to rates just 15 years ago: The causes of divorce vary from couple to couple but the research done on the causes of divorce by different researchers shows that
1) Lack of communication: is one of the leading causes of divorce. The divorces often happen when people rarely discuss their expectations in details and are less willing to work on their marriages and would like quick solution rather than having to resolve issues.
2) People who come from divorced homes are more likely to get divorced than people who come from happily married household. divorce seem less like a big deal if one has seen his parents go through with it:
3) People who get married between the ages of 23-27 are likely to stay together, than people who get married in their teens:
Prostitutes are always neglected is our Society. The profession of prostitution is allowed privately in India but law tries to hide it from public. As prostitutes are ignored, now there are facing various human rights violation. Now, time has come to either totally neglect prostitutes or make genuine efforts to give them respect and make sensible measure to incorporate them into society. The middle path which we have adopted for now is not working for betterment of prostitutes as h human being.

Singapore - Future of surveillance and transparency?Speck&Tech
Speaker: DERRICK DE KERCKHOVE
It is clear that Seoul and Singapore have taken the international lead in turning genuinely smart. This entails knowing everything possible about not just the city but also its inhabitants. The effect is to make people transparent and to hold them accountable for eventual misdeed or misbehaviour. I intend to show how this is done in Singapore. To be fair, the city administration is also keen to be transparent. The people seem to be happy in general with this situation.
So the question is: forced by rising worldwide insecurity, will cities such as Paris or Rome, or any other human agglomeration not feel obliged to follow Singapore’s example simply to protect its citizens? What would be the consequences on social behaviour and the people’s welfare? I do not pretend to answer this question myself but to invite a debate either then and there with the audience, or invite the conference planners to set one up.
Corruption, corporate transparency and open dataChris Taggart
Presentation given by Chris Taggart of OpenCorporates at the Open Knowledge Festival, September 2012, on the importance of open data and corporate transparency in the fight against corruption, fraud, money laundering and organised crime
This is from Ray Gallon's opening presentation at the 2022 SOAP! conference in Krakow, Poland.
It tackles some major problems of communication about Covid, and examines how we need to restore trust at a variety of levels.
It addresses the role of technical communicators in providing verified, truthful information when "truth" - i.e. what we know to be true at the moment - is constantly changing

Slides from keynote lecture by Professor Brian Hughes at the Psychological Society of Ireland Early Graduate Group national conference, 28 February 2015
Psychology, Science, and Pseudoscience: Class #20 (Mystic, Postmod, Econ)Brian Hughes
In short: Popularity of pseudoscience may also result from a need for mysticism, the lobbying of postmodernists, or economic (cost-benefit) considerations.
Psychology, Science, and Pseudoscience: Class #11 (CAM: Homeopathy)Brian Hughes
In short: Complementary and alternative therapies have in common (a) biological implausibility and (b) therapeutic inefficacy. Our first example is homeopathy
Psychology, Science, and Pseudoscience: Class #12 (CAM cont.)Brian Hughes
In short: Like homeopathy complementary/alternative therapies such as acupuncture and chiropractic lack plausibility and efficacy, despite claims to the contrary. Placebo and other psychological effects of treatments may explain their popularity.
Psychology, Science, and Pseudoscience: Class #10 (Psych: Phil of Sci)Brian Hughes
In short: The real question is: 'How good a science can psychology be?' Psychology meets the various philosophical assumptions of science. This brings us to our case-studies. The first set is from the fringes of psychology, and relates to complementary and alternative therapies.
Psychology, Science, and Pseudoscience: Class #09 (Psych as Science)Brian Hughes
In short: When considering whether parts of psychology are pseudoscientific, it is worth remembering that psychology as a whole conforms to scientific assumptions much better than many other fields commonly considered (without dispute) to be 'sciences'.
Psychology, Science, and Pseudoscience: Class #01 (Introduction)Brian Hughes
In short: These presentations comprise 'Psychology, Science, & Pseudoscience', my 2011/12 class for undergrads at the National University of Ireland, Galway. The first message is: science isn't always what it seems
Psychology, Science, and Pseudoscience: Class #19 (Popularity of Pseudosci)Brian Hughes
In short: While people can find reasoning difficult, we still need to account for their gravitation toward pseudoscience. This might be due to factors such as a fear of negative change or of technology.
Psychology, Science, and Pseudoscience: Class #15 (Tend-and-Befriend)Brian Hughes
In short: Continuing the case-study on 'Biological Reductionism and Gender', we look at the claims and criticisms associated with the 'tend-and-befriend' theory of stress.
Psychology, Science, and Pseudoscience: Class #14 (Biology and Gender)Brian Hughes
In short: We now move on to our second set of case-studies: namely, psychology-related pseudoscience from the mainstream (as opposed to from the fringes). The first case-study is 'Biological Reductionism and Gender'

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

7. Principled Arguments for
Regulation
• "What will be will be"
• More hassle than it's worth?
• Safer environment
• Adding to our economy

n
Prostitution exists. Ignoring it will not fix the
problem, so legalisation is the way forward to
creating a regulated and licensed environment.
8. Principled Arguments
Against Regulation
• Moral argument: prostitution as a sin
http://images.sodahead.com/polls/002186341/1332478341_no20prostitutio
n20prostitutes20sign_answer_2_xlarge.jpeg
• Legalisation will serve to legitimize
prostitution which, as a practice is
harmful to women
• Legalisation may allow for the expansion
and extension of the sex industry.
9. Research Findings in
Support of Regulation
Regulation as a form of:
• Protection from disease
• Protection from violence
• Protection from economic exploitation

10. Research Findings in Support
of Regulation
•
http://static.thesocietypages.org/socimages/files/blogger2wp/12111098765432Anticrimin
alizationofprostitution.jpg
Cost and inefficiency of incarceration
• Criminalisation is not shown to decrease
demand for prostitution
11. Strengths and Weaknesses of
Research in Support of
Regulation
• The research often takes into account
the feelings and opinions of actual
prostitutes
• Research often looks at regulation as
opposed to criminalization without
considering the benefits of abolitionist
policies
12. Research Findings Against
Regulation
• Prosecutions of johns in the US have been
successful in reducing recidivism when
combined with educational programs.
• In European countries like the Netherlands
and Germany where prostitution has been
legalised sex trafficking immigrants has
remained a substantial problem.
• Since legalisation the Netherlands sex
industry has grown by roughly 25%.
13. Research Findings
Against Regulation
•
tp:ht//images.ctv.ca/archives/CTVNews/img2/20100908/470_erotic_services_100908.jpg
Decriminalisation increases advertising and
the commercial aspects of the industry thus
increasing its size. This has been shown in
Victoria, Australia where brothels tripled in
size.
• Research has proved wrong notions of
reductions in child sex trafficking that
decriminalisation would bring. Since
legalisation in the Netherlands child
prostitution has quadrupled.
14. Strengths and Weaknesses of
Research in Opposition
• Research against does provide statistical
evidence that legalisation increases
prostitution.
• Much of the research against regulating
prostitution fails to acknowledge its effect in
decreasing crime.
• Research against tends to focus more on the
moral aspect of prostitution and ignores the
practical implications of legislation, such as
a reduction in sexually transmitted diseases.
15. Final Recommendation
• Legalisation with regulation has several
public health benefits but does not eliminate
prostitution and can promote human
trafficking.
• The dearth of the drawbacks of legalisation
prompts us to recommend for abolitionist
policies that decriminalise the selling of sex,
but criminalise the buying of sex.
