Now there are far more johns than hookers, and far more hookers than pimps. Logically, the biggest impact per arrest would be to focus on pimps. The smallest impact per arrest would be to focus on johns.
However, arresting johns takes the least amount of effort, and is highly publicly visible - therefore, in order to preserve the illusion that "something is being done" to curb prostitution, yet another crackdown on johns! Yay!
It's right up there with the Multinova in useless exercises that do very little to curb the problem they are supposed to be addressing, but at least the Multinova makes money and takes few resources, whereas this exercise in public relations takes plenty of resources and is a net money-loser.

I believe the province/cities (ie. the police) plan is to combat all levels of prostitution. I know that the CPS' budget for certain units (Vice, etc) was increased substantially over the past 6 months or so with an increase in manpower.
To assume that police are ONLY targeting 'Johns' because it is the easy way clearly shows a lack on ignorance and short sightedness on your part.
Edit: What's with your police state mombojumbo- seems to be in every thread.
