the next tier would be a little less withered, but

Health And Safety Social Control

Prostitution: Prostitution might appear to be an
odd topic for historical inquiry. As "the world's
oldest profession, " concerned with buying and
selling something as "natural" and "unchanging" as
sex, it might seem to have no history. However,
prostitution is subject to historical change and
is shaped by the society in which it exists. In
the United States, over the last couple hundred
years, the nature of prostitution and the
experiences of people working as prostitutes have

As Ms. Mallard uneasily sat in the waiting room,
she watched the hustle of people as they scurried
in and out of the clinic doors. The ring of the
bell above the door sang like wind chimes on a

the short distance she could tell that the child
was around three or four years old and the mother
was expecting in a few months. Mom was in good

best anyone has come up with. The latter is a
