Why is prostitution considered a crime where two consenting adults arrange for private sexual intercourse that involves compensation to one of the sexual partners?

Prostitution is a crime because people pay money for it, it can involve child sexual abuse and child trafficking, and because there are often times when coercion is used, for example by a third party to arrange the encounter. It can lead to people entering the sex trade when they really don’t want to, but have to to survive.
