Beyond Exploitation and Trafficking: Canadian Critical Perspectives on Sex Work
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Supreme Court of Canada unanimously agreed, on 20 December 2013, to strike down as unconstitutional the Criminal Code of Canada’s three statutes regulating adult prostitution: keeping, transporting someone to, or being an inmate of a common bawdy house (sections 210 and 211); procuring or living on the avails of prostitution (section 212); and communicating in a public place or a place open to public view for the purposes of prostitution (section 213).1 The court rendered this landmark decision because all nine justices on Canada’s highest court were convinced that the legislation, singly and together, created an intolerable situation for those providing sexual services by making it nearly impossible for sex workers to carry out their legal occupation safely. The legislation therefore violated Section 7 guarantees of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms:

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.
