apeter: Sp cq street prostitutes
1. Does street prostitution take only one form (e.g., female prostitutes and male clients), or are there several different forms (e.g., homosexual or transvestite prostitution)?
Street prostitution in the Scott Avenue area primarily involves female prostitutes and male clients. There is no specific evidence in the simulation of homosexual or transvestite prostitution.
2. What is known about the prostitutes (e.g., age, gender, race, criminal history, social service history, substance abuse history, residence)?
Most prostitutes are female, some with repeated arrests for prostitution and narcotics. Drug use is common, particularly among females, and many have histories of involvement with social services. Age, race, and residence were not explicitly provided, but repeat arrests indicate a mix of long-term and newer offenders.
3. Do street prostitutes commit crimes against clients (e.g., robbery or theft)?
There is no evidence that prostitutes commit robberies or theft against clients.
4. Are street prostitutes the victims of crime?
Prostitutes are victims of crime, including assaults and robberies, particularly when clients or locations are unsafe.
5. How committed are prostitutes to prostitution?
Prostitutes show high commitment, with some working repeatedly over months or years despite arrests, moving between blocks as needed to continue business.
6. How committed are they to a particular location?
They are moderately committed to particular areas, primarily lower Scott Avenue and adjacent blocks, but will relocate temporarily to avoid enforcement or seek better clientele, such as near new bars in upper blocks.
