The police said concerning the Murders in Ipswich until the killer is caught they would turn a blind eye to solicitation. If they had turned a blind eye to start with then the girls could be working in the safety of a regulated, inspected and even save brothels. The main failure of the police is not that they have failed to catch the killer but that they drive the girls into the streets and the 'protection' of the criminal gangs who pump them with heroin and take all their earnings.
