In some jusridictions, such as Nevada, Germany, Switzerland and several Australian states, prostitution is legal but heavily regulated. Such approaches are taken with the recognition that prostitution is impossible to eliminate in an open society, and thus these societies have chosen to regulate it in ways that reduce the more undesirable aspects of the practice. Goals of such regulations include controlling sexually transmitted disease, controlling where brothels may operate, as well as others that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
