what does 'pimp' mean?

Answer 1

A pimp finds and manages clients for a prostitute and engages them in prostitution (in brothels in most cases and some cases street prostitution) in order to profit from their earnings. Typically, a pimp does not force prostitutes to stay with him, but the low-level types will abuse them in order to keep them in line or maximize profits. A pimp may also offer to protect them from other pimps, prostitutes or abusive clients. He can also enable a prostitute to work in a particular area under his control. Pimping is a sex crime in most jurisdictions.

Most people who work managing prostitutes are men, but some women (often prostitutes or former prostitutes themselves) work in this capacity as well, but rarely in street prostitution. Women are rarely called pimps, as the word implies male dominance (see Pimps in Popular Culture below) - a woman who manages prostitutes is generally called a madam. (This should not be confused with the title of respect given to adult women in most English-speaking countries.)

Often, low level pimps will initially present themselves as lovers or father-figures to prostitutes (who may be run-aways or otherwise lack a family network) before introducing them to prostitution and drug addiction. This practice is called "turning out." Most pimp-prostitute relationships are suggestive and guided while the low life types are abusive, using psychological intimidation, manipulation and physical force to control the members in the "stable".

In 1949, the United Nations adopted a convention stating that prostitution is incompatible with human dignity, requiring all signing parties to punish pimps and brothel owners and operators, and to abolish all special treatment or registration of prostitutes. The convention was ratified by 89 countries, non-signatories included Germany, the Netherlands, Australia and the United States.

In the Netherlands, Germany, and several other countries, prostitution is legal, though pimping is not. (See Prostitution in the Netherlands and Prostitution in Germany for more information.) Managing a brothel is not classified as pimping in these jurisdictions.

In the United States, prostitution is illegal except in licensed brothels in certain counties of Nevada; however, pimping is illegal everywhere. Some municipalities, such as the city of Chicago, have made it possible for female prostitutes to take legal action against their pimps without the danger of being prosecuted for prostitution.

The number of pimps and the prostitutes' level of dependency on them is usually higher in areas where prostitution is illegal or heavily restricted. In places where prostitution is largely unrestricted, the power of pimps seems to decrease, since the prostitutes are less in need of protection.

Starting in the late '90s, the pimp culture saw a rise in popularity, and can be currently seen in the modern hip hop culture of today.
