While I don't doubt that you can find OC groups involved in street prostitution , I'd also wager that more sophisticated OC groups prefer to manage higher end prostitutes as opposed to your common street hooker .

Speaking of higher end prostitutes , is there any information available on OC involvement in the American escort scene ? I'm referring to America specifically because escorting is typically legal in much of Europe , while it's typically illegal in much of the States . I realize that it's harder for OC groups to manage escorts in the age of the Internet , however it's also a fact that escorts in jurisdictions that deem their profession illegal face a lot of obstacles when it comes to the issue of safety and dispute resolution . I mean it's not like your average escort in America can go to court over a client not paying her ( for example ) . Which makes the scene a potentially lucrative market for OC groups willing to provide protection and dispute resolution services .
