Prostitution
Prostitution is illegal everywhere in the United States except for parts of Nevada. It takes many forms, from common streetwalkers to expensive "call girls" and "escort services" in urban areas. With the recent AIDS problem, prostitution has become a very dangerous profession. A person patronizing a prostitute runs a high risk of disease. Prostitutes can also commit robberies and other violent crimes, or involve their customers in scandals and other unpleasant arrangements. Most Americans are not open-minded or understanding about prostitution.
