Sex worker abuse by police officers can occur in one or more ways. Police brutality refers to the intentional use of excessive force by a police officer, be it physical, verbal, or psychological. Police corruption is a form of police misconduct where an officer obtains financial benefits and/or career advancements in exchange for not pursuing, or selectively pursuing, an investigation or arrest. Police misconduct refers to inappropriate actions taken by police officers in connection with their official duties. Sex workers, particularly poor sex workers and those who had been manipulated, coerced, or forced into sex work, are at risk of being obliged or otherwise forced to provide free sexual services to police officers out of fear of being harmed or arrested.

  • El abuso policial a prostitutas puede ocurrir de una o más formas. La brutalidad policial se refiere al uso intencional de fuerza excesiva por parte de un oficial del cuerpo, bien física, verbal o psicológica. La corrupción policial es una forma de mala conducta en la que un agente, o cargo superior, obtiene beneficios económicos y/o avances profesionales a cambio de no avanzar y proceder a una investigación o arresto. La mala conducta policial refiere a acciones inapropiadas tomadas por estos agentes en relación con sus deberes oficiales. Las trabajadoras sexuales, en particular aquellas con bajos ingresos económicos, y aquellas que han sido manipuladas, coaccionadas u obligadas a realizar actividades sexuales, corren el riesgo de verse obligadas o forzadas de otro modo a proporcionar servicios sexuales gratuitos a los agentes por miedo a ser lastimadas o arrestadas.​​​ Algunas trabajadoras sexuales han informado que se han encontrado con agentes de policía que las han agredido físicamente sin evidencia de un delito y sin hacer un arresto.​ Se han realizado estudios para examinar el alcance y la frecuencia del abuso experimentado por las trabajadoras sexuales en los Estados Unidos. Steven D. Levitt y Sudhir Alladi Venkatesh han notado que ha habido dificultades para obtener datos confiables debido a que la prostitución es en gran medida ilegal en los Estados Unidos, lo que hace que las fuentes de datos estándar no sean informativas.​ e han planteado preocupaciones sobre la salud y los derechos de las trabajadoras sexuales y el papel que tiene la policía para mejorarlos o empeorarlos mediante la utilización de la ley de prostitución,​ y algunos críticos afirman que en áreas como Washington D. C., las leyes son efectivas, ya que "legitiman el comportamiento inconstitucional de la policía que había existido durante mucho tiempo en el Distrito".​ El abuso policial puede tener consecuencias duraderas. Las trabajadoras sexuales que se ven obligadas a mudarse a otra área pueden terminar en zonas donde se sienten menos seguras, y ha habido informes de interrupciones en las rutinas de medicamentos y horarios médicos debido a los arrestos.​ Organizaciones como Human Rights Watch han afirmado que el abuso policial en países como Estados Unidos ha hecho que las trabajadoras sexuales desconfíen de los agentes, disuadiéndolas de denunciar los ataques de los clientes, y son una de las principales fuentes de violencia.​ Algunas trabajadoras han informado también que ven el sistema legal como inútil, ya que sienten que no les proporciona acceso a recursos, sino que las presiona para aceptar declaraciones de culpabilidad incluso cuando son inocentes, y el proceso de arresto y juicio es humillante.​ (es)
  • Sex worker abuse by police officers can occur in one or more ways. Police brutality refers to the intentional use of excessive force by a police officer, be it physical, verbal, or psychological. Police corruption is a form of police misconduct where an officer obtains financial benefits and/or career advancements in exchange for not pursuing, or selectively pursuing, an investigation or arrest. Police misconduct refers to inappropriate actions taken by police officers in connection with their official duties. Sex workers, particularly poor sex workers and those who had been manipulated, coerced, or forced into sex work, are at risk of being obliged or otherwise forced to provide free sexual services to police officers out of fear of being harmed or arrested. Some sex workers have reported that they have encountered police officers who have physically assaulted them without evidence of a crime and without making an arrest. Studies have been conducted to examine the extent and frequency of abuse experienced by sex workers in the United States. Steven D. Levitt and Sudhir Alladi Venkatesh have noted that there has been difficulty in obtaining reliable data due to prostitution being largely illegal in the United States, rendering standard data sources uninformative. Concerns have been raised about the health and rights of sex workers and the role police have in either improving or worsening them by utilizing prostitution law, with some critics stating that in areas such as Washington, D.C., the laws effectively "legitimized unconstitutional police behavior that had long existed in the District." Police abuse can have long-lasting consequences. Sex workers who are forced to move to another area can end up in areas where they feel less safe, and there have been reports of disrupted medication routines and medical schedules due to arrests. Organizations such as Human Rights Watch have stated that police abuse in countries such as the United States has led to sex workers becoming distrustful of officers, deterring them from reporting attacks from clients, and are one of the primary sources of violence. Some sex workers have further reported that they see the legal system as being unhelpful, as they feel that the system does not provide them with access to resources, that it pressures them to accept guilty pleas even when innocent, and the process of arrest and trial is humiliating.
