This thesis investigates four cases of prostitution and procuration presented in the protocols of the Stockholm bailiff records between the years 1734 and 1767. This study's suspected procurers subjected to scrutiny were Annika Ullström, Lovisa von Plat, Greta Sophia Sundberg, and Catharina Malmberg. By looking at the interactions between witnesses, informers, suspects, andthe court jury during the trial, this thesis sheds light on how sex trade networks were structured in eighteenth century Stockholm and how they can be understood as social networks. By utilizing aqualitative network analysis, the study analyses actors and their relationship ties, which together can be understood as a social network that was part of the sex trade and other criminal activities. The study adopts theoretical concepts such as the whore stigma, vulnerability, and crimes of necessity, for the purpose of understanding the social and economic landscape that actors involvedin the sex trade networks were affected by. The thesis shows that the four cases chosen for analysisare indicative of social networks that utilize various resources and strategies to create and maintainthe sex trade. In addition, the thesis reveals an asymmetrical power relation between actors in these social networks.
