New site launched for the perverted and pinched

As an update to our post on “john school” and the pics of men on billboards who had been arrested for soliciting prostitutes, it looks like a new strategy in Chicago has been used to humiliate their johns, reports the Chicago Tribune.
The Chicago Police Department have begun to post names and pictures of the men on their new website. By the end of the first day that the site was up, they received more than 47,000 hits. Mayor Richard Daly says the intention is to shame them before their spouses, children, neighbors, and employers. The names of prostitutes have been on the site for some time, but “with little fanfare.” Glad to see they’re up in the popularity contest o’ deviancy. Ugh.
The police plan to update their site every day — more than 180 men have been posted already. What I don’t understand is how they feel that “shaming” these men (more will always come) can make more of a difference than helping the prostitutes who want to get out of the business.
