Street Prostitution
Street prostitution may be connected to other illegal activities such as drug addiction, pimping, and criminal gangs. While authorities may "close their eyes" to escort or dating services, "massage parlors", "holistic centers", or "saunas" which may be fronts for prostitution, street prostitution is considered a more serious problem because of its visibility leading to citizen action. Prostitution is more common in big cities than in small towns or rural places.
Nearly all law enforcement of the anti-prostitution laws concerns the people involved in street prostitution, with the other forms of prostitution being virtually ignored. The enforcement generally focuses on the prostitutes, and not on their customers.

Famous quotes containing the word street:
“The invention of photography provided a radically new picture-making process—a process based not on synthesis but on selection. The difference was a basic one. Paintings were made—constructed from a storehouse of traditional schemes and skills and attitudes—but photographs, as the man on the street put, were taken.”
—Jean Szarkowski (b. 1925)
