During the 19th and 20th centuries, heated debates about prostitution control opposed the regulationists, who advocated for a police and medical control of prostitution, to the abolitionists, fighting for the disappearance of regulated prostitution. In Belgium, this controversy about prostitution occurred at a time when scientific and political circles were increasingly interested in statistics, leading to a war of figures. This paper deals with the construction and evolution of official prostitution statistics in relation with the preoccupations of the political elite, abolitionists and regulationists presenting these data to their advantage, going from ideological discourses to even political manipulations.
