Winner of the British Society of Criminology Annual Book Prize 2022, this groundbreaking book delves into the complex world of duality, where individuals navigate precarious, low-paid, and temporary jobs to survive. In the face of exploitative labor markets, duality emerges as a lifeline, providing much-needed flexibility and a means of staving off poverty. Drawing from extensive empirical research, the book offers captivating accounts of individuals who take extraordinary risks to secure employment in both sex industries and non-sex work settings. Moreover, it sparks a crucial dialogue about the stratification of sex industries in the UK, particularly in the context of Brexit, challenging stereotypes and stigmatization of sex workers. By shedding light on these marginalized voices, the book makes an invaluable contribution to discourses on work, society, and future policy, advocating for a more inclusive and empathetic approach to understanding the complexities of contemporary employment.
