I've read the conclusions of that paper, legalizing prostitution DOES bring increase in human trafficking, but PROTECTS sex workers better than if prostitution is criminalized.
So in a way, legalizing prostitution DOES reduce sexual crimes overall.
You mistakenly read the conclusions of the journal my brother. In this study using an economic approach. So, legal prostitution from 150 countries sampled in the study shows that scale effects are more dominant than substitution effects. The scale effect of legalized prostitution leads to an expansion of the prostitution market, increasing human trafficking.
