In many cases, prostitution is followed by other negative social phenomena, in particular, spread of AIDS and venereal diseases, crime, a drug addiction, alcoholism and alcoholism. One of the reasons of continuous reproduction of prostitution is that around prostitutes the numerous faces seeking to parasitize at the expense of "women of easy virtue" crowd. Therefore, the survivability of this phenomenon is explained first of all by mercenary interest of the persons profiting due to exploitation of prostitutes. Criminal liability for involvement in occupation by prostitution for the purpose of receiving income or other benefit is provided in the current version of Article 243 of Criminal Code of Azerbaijan.
