Although Melissa Farley and her associates get a lot of attention by mainstream media, her writings have been thoroughly criticized by several scholars who are impartial and objective researchers. She is consistent in all of her writings, by beginning with the ASSUMPTION that prostitution is evil, inherently a form of "abuse" of women, and that legalization will only make matters worse. These are Articles of Faith held by Farley, not based on any sound scientific data collection. For a good example of an academic article that thoroughly deconstructs Farley's writings, see Ron Weitzer, "Flawed Theory and Method in Studies of Prostitution," in the journal VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN, vol. 11, no.7 (July 2005). Weitzer is a professor at George Washington University in Washington DC.
