Every day in the United States, children and adolescents are
victims of commercial sexual exploitation and sex trafficking.
Despite the serious and long-term consequences for victims as well
as their families, communities, and society, efforts to prevent,
identify, and respond to these crimes are largely under supported,
inefficient, uncoordinated, and unevaluated. Confronting Commercial
Sexual Exploitation and Sex Trafficking of Minors in the United
States examines commercial sexual exploitation and sex trafficking
of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents of the United
States under age 18. According to this report, efforts to prevent,
identify, and respond to these crimes require better collaborative
approaches that build upon the capabilities of people and entities
from a range of sectors. In addition, such efforts need to confront
demand and the individuals who commit and benefit from these
crimes. The report recommends increased awareness and
understanding, strengthening of the law's response, strengthening
of research to advance understanding and to support the development
of prevention and intervention strategies, support for multi-sector
and interagency collaboration, and creation of a digital
information-sharing platform. A nation that is unaware of these
problems or disengaged from solutions unwittingly contributes to
the ongoing abuse of minors. If acted upon in a coordinated and
comprehensive manner, the recommendations of Confronting Commercial
Sexual Exploitation and Sex Trafficking of Minors in the United
States can help advance and strengthen the nation's emerging
efforts to prevent, identify, and respond to commercial sexual
exploitation and sex trafficking of minors in the United States.
