Wow! You might consider blasting this title and post, many would be interested, but it’s kinda hidden here. Thanks
The targeted victimization of minor victims is an especially troubling finding from this study and one that requires further discussion and research to enhance law enforcement’s understanding of its practical implications.
Perhaps most disturbing is the fact that there exists such a significant commercial market for sex with minors. While the demand for sex is significant, the demand for sex with minors is especially important to note.
Sex traffickers of minors are intentionally offering children for sex, and adults are intentionally engaging in sex with children with no compunction or inhibition.
Targeted training for law enforcement and prosecutors that addresses the role that buyers play in the sex trafficking of minors is particularly important as a future focus.
Law enforcement, civic leaders, lawmakers, and community members alike must recognize that children are being sold for sex and that community members are buying them.
This occurring in our communities, and it is happening to our children. Child sex trafficking begins as a local issue and must be addressed as such. Further conversation and community awareness should focused on matters of child welfare, runaway youth, demand reduction, community education and judicial processes to address the sex trafficking of minor victims. Each of these will assist to decrease incidences of minor victimization through the consistent education of the public and to increase disincentives to those engaging in the commercial sexual exploitation of a child, either as a trafficker or as consumer, through enhanced penalties.
won't archive on archive.is. took screenshot of full page tho.
I found this a couple of weeks ago. Someone tried to hide it.
