Dallas Changes Approach To Prostitution

Dallas police arrest a young woman for prostitution as part of an intervention program in Dallas recently.  Dallas is taking a new approach to the world’s oldest profession. Rather than treat prostitutes as criminals, police are treating them as sex crime victims. And rather than locking them up, Dallas police are giving some the chance to get clean and get off the streets. (AP Photo/LM Otero)

Question: Is Dallas taking the right approach to prostitution in treating the individuals involved as sex crime victims in need to treatment rather than as criminals?
