Calls to criminalise the purchase of sex

Sir, – Your paper carries yet another report about yet another group, Space International, calling for the much ballyhooed Nordic model to criminalise the purchase of sex (Home News, October 18th). It makes the allegation that Ireland is a lucrative place for pimps. Would it be too much to ask if, for once, such groups produced some evidence to back up their claims, because the evidence suggests the Nordic model doesn't work. – Yours, etc,
