Grant Description

The project will assess the feasibility of conducting an evaluation to determine the effectiveness of the johns' school. program in the Republic of Korea.

A johns' school gives first-time offenders arrested for alleged solicitation of prostitution the option of attending school instead of going to trial. Johns' school curriculum includes health education and information about the negative impact of prostitution.

This preliminary study builds on research in the United States demonstrating that johns' school projects have reduced the demand for commercial sex.
