Description
Every
day in the United States, children and adolescents are victims of
commercial sexual exploitation and sex trafficking. These are not only
illegal activities, but also forms of violence and abuse that result in
immediate and long-term physical, mental, and emotional harm to victims
and survivors.
In 2013, the Institute of Medicine/National Research Council released the report Confronting Commercial Sexual Exploitation and Sex Trafficking of Minors in the United States.
The report found that the United States is in the very early stages of
recognizing, understanding, and developing solutions for these crimes.
Law enforcement professionals, attorneys, and
judges all have important roles to play in responding to commercial
sexual exploitation and sex trafficking of minors in the United States.
Their knowledge and ability to identify victims, investigate cases, and
make appropriate referrals is crucial to the development of an overall
response to these crimes.
This Guide for the Legal Sector
provides a summary of information from the original report that is most
relevant to individuals within the legal sector who interact in some way
with victims, survivors, and perpetrators of commercial sexual
exploitation and sex trafficking of minors. This includes federal,
state, county, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies; police
officers and investigators; probation officers; parole officers;
corrections officers; prosecutors and defense attorneys; victim
advocates; and judges.
This guide includes definitions of key terms
and an overview of risk factors and consequences; noteworthy examples of
efforts by law enforcement personnel, attorneys, the juvenile and
criminal justice systems, and the judiciary; multisector and interagency
efforts in which the legal sector plays an important role; and
recommendations aimed at identifying, preventing, and responding to
these crimes.
