To the Editor:
The change in policy does not go far enough. Those who sell sexual services will no longer be prosecuted, but their clients will remain subject to arrest and prosecution. This lopsided policy has been a failure in countries that have adopted it, such as Canada, France and Sweden.
Criminalizing only one of the parties involved in consensual transactions indirectly harms the other party, as they are forced to operate in a clandestine and potentially precarious manner. Imagine a law that decriminalized those who sell marijuana but criminalized those who buy it! Comprehensive legalization is a superior alternative.
