Making Sex Work is an extremely important work, as it moves the debate about the legalization of prostitution out of the realm of speculation and conjecture, and into the domain of the hard facts concerning its potential detriments. This work will be of interest to anyone interested in issues concerning legalized prostitution, public policy, and labor ethics, regardless of whether or not they are interested in learning specifically about Australia. Because its style is straightforward and lucid, this book is a work that will be easily understood by all.

... the evidence is compelling ... prostitution is male sex right in action, and this is where we need to start. Grazyna Zajdow, Arena Magazine

[Making Sex Work]  is being used by policy-makers internationally on this issue and, like the best work in the social sciences, is making a real difference. Sheila Jeffreys, The University of Melbourne Voice

Sullivan makes the powerful case that in legalising prostitution, the state and society connive in institutionalising the sexual and personal exploitation and abuse of all women and girls, not only those who sell themselves directly. The legal, social and ethical collapse which Sullivan traces in the wake of legalisation is both rapid and devastating...The book is a vital resource for anyone concerned with plans to legalise prostitution anywhere in the world. Anna Krohn, The Record

I expect this book to attract a wide-ranging readership, appealing to academics, politicians, historians, lawyers, law enforcers, feminists and members of the general public. Never before has there been such a detailed body of work specifically documenting and challenging the liberal acceptance of the legalised prostitution industry. Carole Moschetti, Journal of Women and Policing
