I mentioned in a previous post that I would be interested in seeing a study of crime and adult business proximity, which is what municipalities generally use to begin the process of regulating and zoning clubs out of existence.
A kind reader passed me this study, which indicates that the crime and adult business angle, at least in this study, was flawed. As expected by anyone who frequents these clubs, naked girls or not, if these places were crime-ridden, we wouldn’t be going there either.

Now, a case still exists for the hypothesis that adult businesses cause legitimate businesses to move out of a neighborhood because they don’t want to be near or affiliated with the adult business, and that they sometimes have to sell at a loss to do so, and further, that the resulting decay can lead to declining property values and crime can move in. This I tend to believe, but I’m still looking for a study that proves it.
Another in the endless saga of small towns trying to curb the evil effects of adult businesses. http://www.petoskeynews.com/articles/2007/05/03/news/news03.txt
I don’t suppose anyone can point me toward the studies often quoted which link prostitution, drugs and other crimes to the existence of nearby adult businesses… I would love to explore this.
Nancy Nall has done some research on Ms. Palfrey’s lawyer, and apparently there’s some precedent, as a previous "pimp" also represented by this lawyer ended up suing his clients for breach of contract after having signed a no-sex document.
