for my second argument i've mostly stuck to victim profiles. i explained how mainstream media and research often focuses more on straight, cisgender, female victims and that domestic abuse is often seen as a "gendered crime" but that this cannot always be used and/or relied on when trying to understand patterns and explanations as to why many lgbtq+ individuals within lgbtq+ relationships may become victims of domestic abuse as gender and sexuality within such relationships vary so much and may not always be able to be used as a main contributing factor of the offence.

would this be okay or should i also talk more about offender profiles too?

when taking about sex work, who is the offender and who is the victime?

offender
- obviously the people offending by working in the sex industry are violate the law, which would make them an offender.
- if they are being forced into sex work, their "handler" would of course not be an offender within the sex industry, however would violate the Geneva convention on human ownership - making them only an accessory to the crime

victim
- the people forced into sex work as a lack of perspective - difficult working conditions, possible abuse, not able to get help if needed due to the criminalisation of the act, etc.
- people possibly requiring the services of a sex worker
- family of a sex worker - possibility of being mentally and physically abused
