Quote from : Wikipedia : Motives for Spying : M.I.C.E.
There are many suggested motives for spying that an individual may have.
In general, espionage carries heavy penalties, with spies often being regarded as traitors, and so motivating factors must usually be quite large.
There have been various attempts to explain why people become spies. One common theory is summed up by the acronym "MICE", which stands for "Money, Ideology, Compromise or Coercion (depending on source), and Ego".
Other explanations have stressed the role of disaffection and grudges, or of personal links
Amazon Review :
In The Tao of Spycraft, for the first time anywhere Ralph Sawyer unfolds the long and venerable tradition of spycraft and intelligence work in traditional China, revealing a vast array of theoretical materials and astounding historical developments.
Encompassing extensive translations of relevant portions of theoretical military manuals previously unknown in the West (such as the T'ai-pai Yin-ching, Hu-ling Ching, and Ping-fa Pai-yen), the book spans centuries to trace the development and expansion of agent concepts, insertion and control methods, recruitment, and covert practices such as assassination, subversion, and sexual entrapment and exploitation, going on to explore counter-intelligence and all aspects of military intelligence, including objectives, analysis and interpretation.
But The Tao of Spycraft is more than an examination of military tactics, it also provides a thorough overview of the history of spies in China, emphasizing their early development, ruthless employment, and dramatic success in subverting famous generals, dooming states to extinction, and facilitating the rise of the first imperial dynasty known as the Ch'in.
The cases discussed-particularly those exploiting women and sex-not only became part of China's general mindset over the ages, but coupled with the theoretical writings remain the basis for the study and teaching of contemporary spycraft methods and practices as the PRC trains and aggressively deploys thousands of agents throughout the world, including the United States.

About the only part of your post I can agree with is this makes undercover work pretty non existant.

But I don't see her being in any more danger now than she ever was. If people are going to picture her naked they will regardless of rather they have seen her naked or not.

More times than not, in jail settings the women staff are well respected by the inmates and that respect is enforced by staff and the inmates. Its not like movie scenes with cat calls and whistles as a female officer walks by.

Unless they have computers and internet access at this jail they won't be seeing her pictures. Also, rape is not generally a crime of sexual desire, I don't think she is in any more danger as a jail guard than she was before she posed.
