How stop prostitute killers like the Yorkshire Ripper and Crossbow Cannibal?

Sean Stowell looks at a different approach to prostitution in Germany including tolerance zones for street prostitutes, drive-in sex areas as an alternative to curb crawling and legal brothels. Will any of that work in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire?
