    Ffs, read more than the abstract.

    On average, countries where prostitution is legal experience larger reported human trafficking inflows.

    That “on average” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. I know it’s really hard to read all the way to the end, but that’s where the pictures are. The regression chosen is linear, but the relationship looks to be anything but. Some countries have to substitution effect overshadow the scale effect, some see the opposite. Reducing it to legalized prostitution increases trafficking is facile at best.

        Yikes. Get upset that your source and interpretation suck? Don’t reflect, just accuse them of something.

        If that’s what you got from that, your reading comprehension is really more like a reading fantasizing

        Bro, you are as dumb as a Brick. Ma boii gave you a scientific explanation why this is a false correlation. Don’t bother answering. I don’t talk to bricks and pricks. And you are both.

          They, in their own comment, put up a picture showing the correlation is real. On a massive sample size.
