Objective: To determine the current issues and prospects of legal liability for prostitution and the role of public administrations in its regulation. Methodology: By using the dialectical method, the current issues of prostitution conceptual understanding, types of legal liability for it in Malaysia,
Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Brunei Darussalam, Western New Guinea, and Ukraine were analyzed. Results: A modern prostitution policy in the countries under consideration requires its official liberalization. The role of public administrations should be constructively changed to provide socially needed programs for systematic health screening and protection of prostitutes, positive ideological and cultural influence on their consciousness, and practical implementation of the legal conceptual framework for their integration in social inclusion. Conclusions: The constructive character of the prostitution policy essence should remove the stigmatization of sex-workers and their activity to provide common social respect to any human as the highest value and potentially constructive element of the present and future.
