The way in which surveys ask respondents about sexual harassment and the methods used to collect data can have a profound impact on the findings (Smolensky & Kleiner, 2006). A World Health Organization (WHO) (Heise, 1999) multi country study, which examined women's health and domestic violence, found that the percentage of women who were reporting sexual abuse before the age of 15 in a face-to-face interview almost doubled when women were able to report their experiences anonymously.

For example; the selling of poor girls into prostitution was a problem in 19th century cities. In the 21st century, an equivalent to this is ‘people trafficking’. Numerous people from Eastern Europe and less economically developed countries, are illegally brought to the UK and forced to work for low wages, or no wages at all.

PHL 2000 12-12-12 Thoughts on Prostitution Throughout modern day society, the action of prostitution is often seen as debatable with respect to different ethical issues. Prostitution can be defined as “The act or practice of engaging in sexual intercourse for money,” and is usually provided as an underground service.

A Psychological and Behavioral Analysis and Assessment: The Film Portrayal of a Female Serial Killer Olivia Laidlaw Mount Allison University October 10, 2012 The 2003 award winning drama, Monster is based on the true story of the first female, American, serial killer, Aileen Wuornos. Wuornos was born in Michigan in the mid 1950' s and experienced a cruel childhood laden with poverty, abuse, and drug use. In her early adolescent years she began to exhibit very inappropriate and promiscuous behaviors, which lead to prostitution at the early age of 13. Eventually, Wuornos moved to Florida where she started her dark career of walking the highways as a “hitchhiking prostitute” in hopes to earn enough money for food, shelter, or a drink of alcohol. The film focuses on the nine-month period between 1989 and 1990 during which she had a passionate lesbian relationship with a woman named Selby.
