Journal Article
Deviant Career Mobility: The Case of Male Prostitutes
1986
Overview
This paper examines deviant career mobility using data from interviews with 28 male prostitutes. These respondents identified three modes of operation in their world--street hustling, bar hustling, and escort prostitution--and ranked them according to level of income and safety from arrest. While some prostitutes developed relatively stable careers within a given rank, others developed ascending careers. Most of the respondents moved from street hustling to bar hustling, and a few ascended to escort prostitution. I analyze the interplay of objective and subjective contingencies that shapes these patterns of mobility, and I discuss the conditions that affect career mobility in various deviant worlds.
