Internet Spawns Virtual Subculture for Prostitution
Led by Thomas Holt and Kristie Blevins of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, the study challenges the common perception that sex customers act alone and do not interact for fear of reprisal or scorn.
Holt said that today's Web-savvy johns use the Internet to solicit prostitutes and to provide each other with warnings of prostitution hot zones and stings, which can hamper the efforts of law enforcement officials.
But the more police become familiar the johns' Web activities, the more it can help them zero in on the perpetrators, he added.
"The growth of these deviant subcultures has made it more difficult for law enforcement," said Holt, who has helped police devise prostitution stings. "On the other hand, it gives us a new opportunity to use the way the offenders communicate to better target their activities," he said.
