Sweden’s Prostitution Solution: Why Hasn’t Anyone Tried This Before? | Solutions:

Here is an novel approach to prostitution. Who do you put in jail/prison, the John or the Jane.

This Swedish approach didn’t decriminalize prostitution, which apparently has it’s own problems. It totally decriminalized for the prostitute, but criminalized for the John. Read the logic and how surprisingly well it has worked since 1999. Also, what it took to support this change in mindset. And how it virtually eliminates human sex trafficking.

When you take this change in mindset into the laws against drugs, where half of the US prison population is non-violent drug offenders.  Lots of implications for lots of old school crime and punishment.

  • Sustainability in EDU Over last 20 years

    BySustainMe

    The SustainZine has been blogging (although rather sporadically) for 11 years. Wow!. One of the first blogs was related to an article (and a SAM presentation) by Hall, Tayler, Zapalski and Hall (2009). It focused on sustainability in Higher ED, specifically on how the facilities of universities were doing sustainability initiatives but there were few actual classes on Sustainability. The classroom, i.e., the future of sustainability was far behind. Later in 2010 Hall (2010) published…

    The BARD on Earth Day. Shakespeare in Love (with AI)

    BySustainMe

    I’ve been soliciting the sage advise and wise words of the BARD recently…  I got my new best buddy Bard (AI from Google) to help with two blogs: World Water Day 2023: Accelerating Change on March 22 and Earth Day 2023: Invest in our Planet on April 22.  But, William Shakespeare would be 459 years olde today (~23 April 1564 — 23 April 1616), so I wondered what “The Bard” would have to say?
