How is the amount of human trafficking measures? As an above comment said, one major advantage of legalizing prostitution is that trafficked women have more power to go to the police and report their traffickers, an action significantly less common in countries that prostitution is illegal
"Extensive data on victims have been collected by theInternational Organization for Migration (IOM) and utilized formicro-analyses on the characteristics of human trafficking (Di Tommaso et al., 2009, Mahmoud and Trebesch, 2010). The reports by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC, 2006, UNODC, 2009), the US Department of State (2001–2011) and the Protection Project (2002) provide information on trafficking routes; some of them being utilized in recent gravity analyses on human trafficking (Akee et al., 2010, Akee et al., 2010).Among the currently available sources, the aforementioned Report on Trafficking in Persons: Global Patterns (UNODC, 200 has also collected and presented data on incidences of humantrafficking at the country level; therefore the utilization of this report best serves the purpose of our study."
This doesn’t answer my question. There is 0 reason to believe that the sources the study is citing for human trafficking information would not be affected by under reporting of human trafficking crimes.
They say as much, which you would know if you read the damned study. But that's fine. Just keep giving the world your uneducated opinions about what you think happens given specific legal conditions. It's super impactful and persuasive.
Where do they say that? You seem to be unable to answer basic questions. Choosing instead to resort to long copy pastes of papers while providing no context, hoping to confuse people who are just trying to understand your point.
I guarantee you are not as smart as you think you are bro

You mean studies have shown the exact opposite effect.
Not sure if you made a typo or are ignorant to the legitimate studies
