Prostitutes have a higher murder rate. The BLS, which tracks danger of jobs, states on their website that they do not track illegal jobs.

For delivery drivers you just need to make "the streets" safer. For prostitutes you have to manage their workplace, which could be the john's house, or a random motel.

Then maybe change it so they can have a safe and legal place of business.

Mmm, make jobs illegal so that workers can't reach out to police / be protected with workspace regulation and then say they should be illegal because they are dangerous...

Even in countries where prostitution is legal, prostitutes still get abused, and are pressured to not report crimes (just like employees of regular jobs are pressured to not report on the job accidents).
