In one scene two women are hit by essentially their pimp so the main character can intercede. In another scene that character beats another prostitute in order to provoke a suspect.

There are no animals in the movie. This is set in a futuristic 2022 of overpopulation and food shotage, where there are few animals and plants are scarce.

Cop has sex with a prostitute without ever asking for consent. He just expects her to do it in the same manner as him stealing luxuries from the murder victim.

About 40 years between the prostitute and man she lives with, and then about 20 between her and the main character. All the prostitutes are much younger than the men who own/use them.

There are several uncomfortable scenes where the protagonist, a cop, has sex with a sex worker in a brothel. It is clear she cannot say no to him.
