UWM Research Examines Prostitution and Sex Trafficking

Jon Strelecki
Tom Luljak and Joan Blakey

In most large cities, prostitution continues to be a problem that never ends. Individuals are arrested, sentenced, released and often rearrested.

What is behind the revolving door that some women find themselves going through again and again?

On this edition of UWM Today, meet Joan Blakey, associate professor in UWM’s Helen Bader School of Social Welfare. She has studied prostitution extensively and may have a solution to this age old problem. 

Tom Luljak hosted UWM Today on WUWM for more than two decades and is the inaugural host of Curious Campus.
