Abstract
This article examines the sex trade in the Windsor–Detroit border region following World War II. Between 1945 and 1960, thousands of people entered Windsor and Detroit in hopes of securing employment in the booming auto industry. Windsor's male-dominated economy, when combined with its position as a border town, enabled the development of an extensive sex trade industry. As a result, the city gained a reputation that was international in scope, drawing both Americans and Canadians into the city for the purpose of sex. For a few brief years Windsor's sex tourism industry was able to withstand the social, moral, and legal regulation brought about by the Cold War. Through their participation in the sex trade, women and men necessarily crossed social, legal, and national borders, creating a unique sexualized space. However, border towns do not function exclusively outside the scope of national laws, politics, and identities. This is best demonstrated by the strong, and relatively successful anti-vice campaigns that developed in response to the sex tourism industry. Windsor, therefore, proves to be an important case study of the ways in which border towns function both outside of, and in relation to, the power dynamics of the nation as a whole.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
