metadata.value: The negative consequences of prostitution include sexually transmitted infections, all types
  of violence, psychological trauma and ruined social life. Empirical research demonstrates the
  high variability of the negative consequences of prostitution, depending on which group of
  women the researchers have turned their attention to. An increase in negative consequences
  (“accumulation of disadvantages”) limits future opportunities for conventional development
  of trajectory and contributes to the stabilization of the deviant life trajectory. We assumed
  that the amount of the negative consequences depends on the trajectory of entering into
  prostitution and the actual conditions of being in prostitution. The aim of the study is to assess
  the impact of child and adolescent experience of women engaged in prostitution on the
  amount of negative consequences they accumulated, considering other factors (such as age
  and the circumstances of entering in prostitution and actual conditions of being in prostitution).
  Women involved in prostitution (n = 896) in St. Petersburg and Orenburg took part in
  the study. The results demonstrated that the amount of the negative consequences is largely
  determined by previous events in life, such as the experience of child neglect, early sexual
  experience, an early start of alcohol and drugs use, and the actual conditions of prostitution
  (with or without organizer). The accumulation of negative consequences is accompanied by
  repeated attempts to exit prostitution and the growth of social exclusion of women. The “accumulation
  of disadvantages” in prostitution is preventable, if the resources of social protection
  systems are mobilized to prevent the involvement of girls in prostitution and to support
  women in prostitution.
