  1. 1. Summary

    A draft report released by an expert panel of the Japanese Ministry of Justice on Aug. 24 strongly called for regulating solicitation by buyers of sex, while the panel agreed to be cautious about regulating adult-to-adult prostitution itself.

    2. How is this related to the sub

    (1) The regulation of prostitution market: Japan push for penalties for sex buyers.

    3. My opinion

    I remember 2000s debate on Anti-prostitution law which extended punishment for sex buyers. There was a police officer who fiercely pushed for it, saying unless demand is suppressed, there will be constant supply. Haven’t seen whether that new law was really effective.
