The decriminalization will just give police the opportunity to direct their resources to other problems (drugs, murder, burglary, etc.). I doubt it will have any effect on prostitutes or johns spreading STDs (aids, etc) or the rape and murder of prostitutes. Most of the people of money and influence will just rent a vagina from Nevada anyway (or higher class whore houses in California who often are ignored by the police anyway). Police just won't waste their time taking street hookers off the streets, processing her, fining her, temporarily jailing her, and spitting her back to the streets to be arrested next week. I say female because the overwhelming majority of prostitutes are woman with the except of gay men.
