The particularities of the existing penal and administrative regulations on prostitution in Spain are exposed in this paper, as well as their effects in socio-criminal terms. In order to do this, an analysis of the indicated regulations is first approached, comprehensive of the evolution of the political approaches that promote the different legislative decisions. Second, and in relation to the social context in which such decisions are inserted, an approach is made to the social perception of prostitution through secondary sources. Finally, the available results on the social effects derived from the application of sanctioning regulations are shown in a systematic way, characterized by portraying an image of prostitution as a public safety problem and by intervening only in the face of the most precarious ways.
