title = "Desistence from Sex Work: Feminist Cultural Criminology and Intersectionality — the Complexities of Moving In and Out of Sex Work",
abstract = "This chapter questions the current focus on exiting sex work (Home Office, 2006) from a framework informed by intersectionality (Jackson, 2005), emphasising the importance of biographical and participatory action research (PAR) methodologies that foreground the voices and images of sex workers.1 This framework involves a cultural-materialist analysis of the intersections and ambiguities between sex, work, complex identities and material processes — the conditions and contexts through which sexual services are bought and sold. We outline the need for a more complex trajectory of exit strategies for sex workers, informed by feminist work on intersectionality and the intertwining of social and cultural categories, {\textquoteleft}the interaction of multiple identities and experiences of exclusion and subordination{\textquoteright} (Knudsen 2006).",
