Murder stats in the USA

[YouCalled]

What stands out obviously is the figure for prostitutes. UK news (quite rightly) covers the terrible tragedies of school shootings and violence among/against black males in the USA. I don't recall a news item covering this horrendous pattern though. Is it because it is one murder at a time or a low value placed on their lives? (Been reading the Huddersfield thread.)

None about tackling the risk other ways.

It seems bound up in pro-prostitution "sex worker rights" arguments, from my quick google. Complaining about closing down Backpage etc.

Ease of access without having to build trust I guess. Is there an outcry or a sweeping under the carpet in the US is my question?

[Ereshkigal]

It's clear that most victims of homicide who are prostitutes are female. Those rates are shocking. So the rate of this subgroup of women is sky high.

Case not base

I think it's a combination of low value placed on their lives, misogyny (or homophobia in the base of MTFs) and ease to access to victims.
