Johanns take note

The new Norwegian law against prostitution concentrates, not on the providers, but on the purchasers:

Norwegian citizens caught paying for prostitutes at home or abroad could face a hefty fine or a six-month prison sentence, authorities say. The prison sentence could be extended to three years in cases of child prostitution.

The Norwegian authorities say they want to stamp out sex tourism and street prostitution by targeting clients rather than prostitutes.

As for the hookers themselves:

Prostitutes will be offered access to free education and health treatment for those with alcohol or drugs problems.

What? No unemployment compensation?
