ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on prostitution and the consequences of engaging in this kind of activity. The facilitator reads through the offender’s diary entitled ‘Prostitution’. This describes how Martine becomes engaged in prostitution after having got extremely drunk one night when out with her friend Michael for the first time. This offender’s diary describes how she had got extremely drunk and then engaged in a sexual act with her date Michael while others were watching them. She was so drunk that she didn’t really think about what was going on and proceeded to take £10 from each person who was watching. This has led her to take on the role of a prostitute as she realises she can make more money this way. Marcus’ diary entry describes how he had been lonely since his wife died and how he gets extremely drunk and goes to Martine, that is, the prostitute, for sex.
