abstract="We present a retrospective study of prostitutes' homicide in the Milanese area over a 26-year period (1993-2018), and compare the results with general women's homicides: 294 women were killed of whom 71 were prostitutes. In the general population, the type-victim is an Italian woman aged between 31 and 40 years suffering from no particular pathologies or drug dependence. Prostitutes are 10 years younger, mostly Italian, suffering from pathologies probably related to their activities. Prostitutes remain at high risk of violence, due to gaps in the crime prevention system.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
