You’re arguing against the science on this issue, it’s a well established fact that countries that have legalized prostitution in the past have notably larger human trafficking inflows. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1986065
I have not read that and don’t intend to at present, so let’s give you that argument.
I’d propose a simple reason for this. I would imagine a lot of the inflow is from other countries where prostitution is still illegal. Traffickers move them to legal countries, possibly even legal brothels, and coerce the person to stay quiet. Johns don’t have any reason to suspect, because it’s legal, so it may provide safety to the traffickers, in a hiding in plain site way.
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, or if the article addresses this in some way. I’ll read it a bit later.
Human Trafficking is never above board. That’s the whole point, the illegally kidnapping and forcing into sex slavery part increases. Which is the entire problem. The Human Traffickers don’t start reporting the number of lives they’ve ruined out of good conscience, if that’s what you thought?

Wouldn’t that be because they can actually measure their inflow since all of it is above board?
