Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This is a 5 page paper discussing the impact of adult entertainment businesses on communities. Several cities and regions across the United States have used the argument that adult entertainment within a community has a negative impact on that community and its residents and have used this argument to implement ordinances which take into account the negative impact. Communities in which adult entertainment businesses have been established have reported increased crime, increased public health violations, and a decrease in the property value of their homes or businesses among other negative factors. In addition, research studies have found that from a psychological and sociological standpoint individuals also experience an increased fear of crime, vulnerability and a decrease in life satisfaction and sense of control over their lives and community. From a political standpoint, officials must weigh this negative impact with the right of adult entertainment establishments to operate a business in accordance with their overall rights of freedom within the U.S. Constitution.
