How stop prostitute killers like the Yorkshire Ripper and Crossbow Cannibal?

Almost thirty years after the Yorkshire Ripper was convicted of 13 murders the self-styled Crossbow Cannibal murdered three prostitutes in Bradford. So have any lessons been learned in the past three decades to make the streets safer? Sean Stowell looks at a different approach to prostitution in Germany including tolerance zones for street prostitutes, drive-in sex areas as an alternative to curb crawling and legal brothels. Will any of that work in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire?
