I donot know if the WikiProject Biography/Peer review is the right place to discuss POV problems. Of course, this is a biased article, but I think that such assessments are not out purpose here. A few more remarks:
 * This is a "stub". It needs a lot of work, before a peer-review can offer anything useful. The article lacks a dissent structure (where is the distinction between lead and sections?), a dissent content, references, in-line citations, pictures etc.
 * As far as the POV problem: This article is biased. I agree with User:Peter G Werner that the phrase "Farley's research contradicts commonly-held myths about prostitution: for example, the myth that street prostitution is the "worst type" of prostitution, the myth that most of those in prostitution "freely consent" to it, the myth that prostitution of men and boys is different from prostitution of women and girls, and the myth that legalizing or decriminalizing prostitution would decrease its harms." is POV. The editor sounds like an advocate of Farley and provides no references for such a statement. Rephrasing and citation of such statements is necessary.--Yannismarou 12:52, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
