Media Reviews
This work will likely be read by scholars interested in prostitution specifically and sexuality more broadly, where Mattson succeeds best is in taking a specific social problem and showing how it encapsulates cultural dynamics of an institutional nature. ... Mattson's use of key informant interviews provides a specific and substantial contribution to our understanding of how social problems are articulated `in the trenches' by activists and bureaucrats. (Bayliss J. Camp, American Journal of Sociology, Vol. 122 (4), January, 2017)
