"Thusi's compelling research provides unprecedented insights into
the world of policing sex work, and supports arguments for
decriminalizing sex work so that women may pursue options deemed
beneficial, including selling sex." -- Cathi Albertyn * University
of the Witwatersrand *
"Policing Bodies offers a fascinating, entirely unique
analysis of the policing of prostitution within multiple street and
indoor venues. A major contribution to our understanding of the
dynamics of prostitution and its control." -- Ronald Weitzer *
George Washington University *
"In this well-crafted examination of the sex industry in
Johannesburg, Thusi heightens our understanding of the complex
reality of sex work and the evolving nature of its policing. Not
only does the book provide an excellent analysis of the situation,
it is a really good read!" -- Frances M. Shaver * Concordia
University *
"With its numerous footnoted references and studies providing both
support and additional bibliographic research opportunities,
Policing Bodies is a unique scholarly consideration that
should be considered a mainstay not in just South African
libraries, but in any collection strong in social and legal issues
in general and sex work and law enforcement in particular." --
Diane C. Donovan * Midwest Book Review *
