This article examines the association among victimization, modes of sex working, and the locations used by sex workers through an analysis of "Ugly Mug" reports detailing 528 crime acts in 333 reported incidents in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. These forms, voluntarily lodged between 2000 and 2008 by members of NSW's estimated 10,000 sex worker population, suggest that street-based work has a higher victimization rate than other modes of working, including escort work, work in commercial premises, and private work. Although this ostensibly supports the commonly held view that "outdoor" working is more dangerous than "indoor" work, this analysis suggests that most instances of victimization actually occur in private spaces. Hence, it is argued that risks of victimization in sex work are influenced by a variety of environmental characteristics relating to concealment, control, and isolation, suggesting that not all off-street locations are equally safe. We conclude with recommendations for policy regarding sex work.
本文通过分析“丑脸”报告来研究受害情况、性工作模式以及性工作者工作地点之间的关联。这些报告详细记录了澳大利亚新南威尔士州（NSW）333起报案事件中的528起犯罪行为。这些表格由新南威尔士州估计1万名性工作者群体中的成员于2000年至2008年期间自愿提交，表明街头工作的受害率高于其他工作模式，包括应召服务工作、在商业场所工作和私人工作。尽管这表面上支持了普遍观点，即“户外”工作比“室内”工作更危险，但该分析表明，大多数受害事件实际上发生在私人空间。因此，有人认为性工作中的受害风险受到与隐蔽性、控制性和隔离性相关的各种环境特征的影响，这表明并非所有非街头地点都同样安全。我们最后针对性工作政策提出了建议。
