This longitudinal qualitative study consists of semi-structured interviews with a convenience sample of 24 professional stakeholders and 3 graduates from two prostitution diversion programs. Interviews were conducted virtually via zoom for approximately 45-90 minutes, recorded, and transcribed. Content analysis involved open-coding and consensus by two coders.</p>

<h3> 项目概述 </h3><p>本研究旨在进一步了解刑事司法利益相关者以及卖淫转处项目结业者在项目实施十余年之后的看法；同时作为2011-2014年开展的一项民族志研究的后续追踪，该前期研究的数据<a href="https://doi.org/10.5064/F6C8VUHP"><u>亦收录于QDR数据库</u></a>。本研究的目标在于梳理总结经验教训，并探究在不断变化的社会与法律语境下，项目结业者与其他利益相关者对卖淫转处项目的认知演变，以及该项目的持续效力与伦理正当性。本项纵向质性研究采用方便抽样法，选取来自两个卖淫转处项目的24名专业利益相关者与3名项目结业者进行半结构化访谈。访谈通过Zoom线上开展，时长约45至90分钟，所有访谈内容均进行录音与转录。内容分析环节采用开放编码法，并由两名编码员达成编码共识。</p>
