Funny how a rise in crime happens when something illegal moves in.
The solution, make it legal and regulate/tax the shit out of it. The associated crime should decrease. Example: Nevada where the counties that have legal brothels have very low crime rates.
Look what happened during prohibition. Made something common illegal, crime goes through the roof. Unfortunatly when alcohol became legal again, organized crime was already well established and it took decades to get it under control. Especially since the organized crime moved to exploiting other criminalized victimless activities like drugs and prostitution.
