‘Ulster Says No’: Regulating the consumption of commercial sex spaces and services in Northern Ireland
研究了北爱尔兰如何独立于英国其他地区，对卖淫、脱衣舞俱乐部等商业性消费进行严格的道德与法律监管，并探讨其宗教价值观对相关辩论的影响。
Commercial forms of sex such as prostitution/sex work, strip clubs and even sex shops have been the subject of much political debate and policy regulation over the last decade or so in the UK and Ireland. These myriad forms of commercial sex and land usage have managed to survive and even thrive in the face of public outcry and regulation. Despite being part of the UK we suggest that Northern Ireland has steered its own regulatory course, whereby the consumption of commercial sexual spaces and services have been the subject of intense moral and legal oversight in ways that are not apparent in other UK regions. Nevertheless, in spite of this we also argue that the context of Northern Ireland may provide some lessons for the ways that religious values and moral reasoning can influence debates on commercial sex elsewhere.
