True. Many addicted drug users spend large sums of money on their drugs of choice. For many such users this money is raised by theft, drug dealing or prostitution. 

The cost of the drug may well lead on to further problems with the law as commonly, burglary, prostitution and dealing in the drug become necessary to finance the habit. In fact, it has been estimated that a large part of crime results from the need for drugs. 

The file clearly demonstrated extensive knowledge of Phillip s background with the Department of Defense and his security clearance. While it was made obvious that the Chinese knew all about him, blackmail was the furthest thing from their mind. Their main concern was Alex Houston. The Chinese knew Houston had been involved with the CIA, drugs, money laundering, child prostitution and slavery. The comment from this Chinese bearer of bad tidings was, " Houston was a very bad man and his crimes were of the White House." (24)... 

People do not understand that a drug, to its slave, is more valuable than gold or diamonds. A virtuous woman may be above rubies, but medical experience tells us that there is no virtuous woman in need of the drug who would not prostitute herself to a ragpicker for a single sniff. 

The extent of HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa is alarmingly high. For example, as many as 90% of female prostitutes in Kenya are infected with HIV, while as many as 25% of the sexually active population of several cities in Rwanda may be infected. There may be 10 million HIV-infected individuals in Africa many of them will probably progress to AIDS and eventually die. Another virus related to HIV has also been discovered in Africa. The original HIV, which is associated with the great majority of AIDS cases, is called HIV-1. The new virus is called HIV-2 and is predominantly found in countries along the West... 

In the past, methamphetamine use and abuse in the United States was most prevalent in individuals who needed to remain awake and alert due to the nature of their occupations— long-haul truckers, for example—and in some fringe members of society. Today, however, it is predominantly used by white males in their 20s and 30s and is becoming more popular with teenagers at dance clubs and raves. For these reasons, methamphetamine can be considered a club drug. Methamphetamine use is also increasing among homeless people, prostitutes, and runaway youths. 

Not too much of a coincidence, I decided. Everyone in the city would know about Lucia s bmtal killing very shortly, if not already. But why should a dying patrician worry about a murdered prostitute The social gulf between them had been wider than the Adriatic Sea. 

Every parish has a magazzen, where cheap wine is available around the clock, and San Samuele s is larger than most, perhaps because so many of the cheaper prostitutes live in that area and bring in trade. It was not a place I would willingly take a beautiful girl, but I dared not suggest that my companion wait outside. 

That was worrisome news. The Ten might pay little heed to the death of a prostitute or two, but the slightest hint of civil insurrection will always trigger repression. Nevertheless, I just said, Thanks, and escorted Violetta over to the fallen hero. 

Master, I said grimly, you expect me to walk into this man s home and tell him his baby brother, who murdered their father to the family s eternal shame and his own damnation, is back in town with a price on his head, slaughtering prostitutes ... 

There are ten thousand prostitutes in Venice, Aspasia said. But Honeycat could afford the cream, the cortigiane oneste. He was a skilled musician himself and wrote promising poetry. He demanded sex, certainly, and a lot of sex, but he expected much more. As Alessa puts it, nobody slept with Honeycat. How many hundred in total ... 

Then came a breakthrough. An admitted prostitute accused Zorzi Michiel of confessing while talking in his sleep. 

They forgave them their problems, and although often disappointed in their expectations, they worked hard to try to understand how drugs affected their behaviour. The following young woman had lived in foster and residential care since the age of five. Through all of this time she held on to her hope of being reconciled with her mother, her loyalty was steadfast even as she recounted her mother s affirmation that she worked as a prostitute ...
