1. Does street prostitution take place in more than one area?

The module focuses primarily on the area around Breeze Street and Scott Avenue, but does not confirm whether it occurs in multiple areas across Central City.

The module does not provide enough information about multiple areas to make a comparison. This would need to be explored further during analysis.
