Abstract: In the Maltese jurisdiction, prostitution per se is not a criminal offence. Although there are some related activities which are illegal. Two of the Member States which have enforced legal frameworks on this matter, and whose frameworks are analysed in this dissertation, are Germany and Sweden. The three historical approaches to prostitution: prohibitionist, abolitionist and regulationist, have been analysed and the hybrid legal frameworks of these Member States were thoroughly examined to complete this study. This term paper also includes a historical overview of prostitution in Malta throughout the years and its legislative development. Action must be taken in the area of prostitution law. This study addresses the abolition of prostitution as prostitutes are constantly oppressed and in dire situations. Furthermore, it examines the relevant legal provisions on prostitution of the Criminal Code, the Civil Code and the White Slave Traffic (Suppression) Ordinance. The paper will be concluded with reflections on the best possible legal framework to address prostitution in Malta.
