Synopsis:

Guardian journalist Maggie O'Kane investigates the effects of new prostitution laws on women out on the streets. Travelling to eighteen towns and cities throughout the UK, she meets women who have become more vulnerable since the introduction of the Criminal Justice and Police Act. The law gives police extra powers against curb-crawlers, which has led to a more furtive trade for prostitutes, who in turn have become even more vulnerable to attack.

The film was shown as part of a Channel 4 season called Prostitution - The Laws Don't Work.
