| Start Date: | 02/2005 |
| Abstract: |
| The aim of this research is to use crime mapping technology to analyse the geographical distribution of the one woman brothel in Hong Kong. North Point is selected to be a case study because the district has long been suffered by one-woman brothels. The Investigator has interviewed a couple of police officers in North Point and conducted field observations in the district. It was found that about eighty one-woman brothels are currently operating in North Point and a large number of sex workers are Fujianese new immigrants. Five specific objectives of this research are as follows: (1) To describe the trends of one-woman brothels in North Point in the last 10 years; (2) To analyse the geographical distribution of one-woman brothels in North Point; (3) To construct the time profiling of one-woman brothels as a business in North Point; (4) To work out social profile of sex workers and their clients in North Point; and (5) To make recommendations to law enforcement agencies on how to deal with one woman brothels effectively. |

We seek to answer the following three sets of questions: 1) Questions on family forms, practices and strategies such as: What new family forms and practices are created? Whate are the family's coping strategies? How do the material circumstances and coping strategies differ among different types of families (e.g. single-parent families versus conventional nuclear families; middle class families versus working class families)? 2) Questions on family relationships such as: To what extent are Hong Kong families an emotional haven? What is the nature of the husband-wife relationship, and the parent-child relationship? How do families deal with intergenerational conflicts? 3) Questions on values and expectations relating to the family such as: What do parents expect from their children and vice versa? What role does the family play in people's lives and how important is this role? What desirable qualities do parents want to see in their sons, as versus their daughters? |
