Steal the Diamond
Having been smuggled into Mexico, I get a job at the local pharmaceutical company as a janitor, mopping floors after hours. I steal some chemotherapy drugs, and walk across the border. I trade the orphans life saving chemotherapy for the diamond. I give the diamond and a look alike to a liar and an honest man.

Steal the Diamond
I get released from jail, get hired on in a felony rehab program in a butcher's shop, and slaughter the cow. I pocket the diamond and skip meeting my parole officer, fleeing to Mexico. FREEDOM

Betting Google sponsored that. Firefox supports ~80% of HTML5 features while Chrome does about ~90%... big difference is Firefox doesn't like MP3 / H.264 and other proprietary formats.

Sex work, sex trafficking, and the law
One follows the other. And while you might want to argue a theoretical example of "two people agree upon a service and a price and exchange then part ways..." Doesn't happen like that in real life, and the ugly reality is why it's still illegal http://www2.lse.ac.uk/newsAndMedia/news/archives/2012/12/Legalised-prostitution-increases-human-trafficking.aspx

Sex work, sex trafficking, and the law
That doesn't account for organized crime where prostitutes that want to leave can't due to the threat of violence. Organized crime doesn't go away after legalization. Assuming you took the Turkey thing from the Wikipedia page - that was in 2010 and only applies to two cities. The article you're arguing against was written in 2003. Compare apples to apples. There is also the case were a country changes laws on prostitution (legalizing it or prosecuting it):

I loike computers. Guess I could say its my favorite thing. I hate being the tech support person for non tech people. I hate people spouting off the talking points of each system, without understanding what they're saying. I hate how they age. I hate how you can't customize laptop computers. I hate that that I can't think about another thing that I hate about them. The next post will list 1 thing.

Sex work, sex trafficking, and the law
This article provides a pretty damning case against legal prostitution. http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1037&context=humtraffdata I'm not arguing about a textbook, two people have sex then exchange money. The reason it needs to stay illegal is because how harmful legal prostitution is to the prostitutes.

Sex work, sex trafficking, and the law
There's enough undesirable things that surround prostitution that I'd rather the entirety of it be illegal than legal. I understand the hypocrisy of some of the laws right now; the difference between pornography and prostitution is only a web camera and an upload. Regardless of these loopholes and inconsistencies it's enough to keep the majority of the population from engaging in it. For now you'll just have to settle on titty bars.

Sex work, sex trafficking, and the law
Prosecution is easier when the entire act is illegal. I'll give an example with alcohol. Possessing alcohol is not a crime, consuming alcohol is not a crime, but distilling your own is a crime. It is more difficult to prove that someone illegally distilled alcohol than they possessed or consumed alcohol.

Glad you agree with my logic, even if you don't draw the same conclusion.

Sex work, sex trafficking, and the law
Having prostitution illegal allows for the government to identify and help those in most need. Not saying they do a good job, just saying it gives them the opportunity to.

Sex work, sex trafficking, and the law
Sweet. Those are the problems with illegal production; there are still problems with illegal consumption. Legalizing, taxing and regulating does not stop driving under the influence, public intoxication, underage consumption etc. There are so many people in jail right now! If only we could legalize driving under the influence, there wouldn't be so many people in jail!

Sex work, sex trafficking, and the law
The problem with alcohol is that its taxed and regulated. People realize they can make and keep more money if they're not paying taxes and not following regulations. Really the only way to stop all that illegal activity is to remove the taxes and regulations, which makes the "legalize, regulate, and tax the hell out of it" argument bunk.

Sex work, sex trafficking, and the law
In the U.S., alcohol is taxed, regulated and legal. There are still huge problems with illegal distilleries. Until proponents of legalizing and regulating XYZ can explain to me how to deal with America's illegal alcohol problems, I'm going to ignore their argument about how legalization makes for safer activities and less crime.
