In Sweden selling sex isn't illegal, but buying it is. Seems like a fair compromise between being totally illegal and being legal. However, Swedish men just go over to Finland where they can get their hands on Eastern-European women.
They dont come to Finland they go to estonia. Finland actualy has the same law, selling is legal, buying and pimping is illegal.
My mistake.
Thanks for chiming in Jur. I know the right wing in America likes to point out how Europe is so "wrong" all the time, so it's nice to hear a local perspective. The statistic you were looking for for those jailed in the US in 1 in 10. 2/3rds of which are non-violent drug offenses if I'm not mistaken. [These are figures I remember reading, so this could be complete crock, too lazy to search in depth]
