Prostitution prospers in South

A Channel 4 documentary will tonight reveal the results of an extensive survey into prostitution. The research shows that of the men questioned ,the majority live in London (24 per cent) and the South (29 per cent), with fewer coming from the North and the Midlands. Almost all the men were white, and evenly split between professional or skilled workers and manual or unskilled.

Prostitutes working in massage parlours or advertising through cards, magazines and newspapers proved to be the most popular, while kerb-crawling ranked as one of the least favoured methods of approaching a prostitute.
