Games Pimps Play
Pimps, Players and Wives-in-Laws: A Qualitative Analysis of Street Prostitution
By James F. Hodgson
October 1998
Print ISBN: 9781551301167
Overview
Games Pimps Play is a rich, original, and compellingly comprehensive study of various stages of development and transformation of vice, violence, and victimization. Offering new and provocative insights into prostitution and the concomitant enterprises of pimping, the author challenges the reductionist, facile, and obfuscating conceptions of street prostitution, so characteristic of conventional approaches, by reiterating the more dynamic, elusive, and complex interactions of contexts, activities, and actors within specified socio-political sites.
