For 2005 and 2006, the study estimated that the CSEC population
consisted of 3,946 youth; however, an important caveat to this
estimate is noted that indicates this is a low estimate. An
unexpected finding was the large number of boys in this population.
Even with the alterations to the recruitment of research subjects
designed to favor the recruitment of girls, boys still outnumbered
girls in the sample. Black youth were estimated to be the largest
single ethnic group in the CSEC population; however, there was a
significant presence of Whites, Hispanics, and youth who identified
themselves as multiracial. Reasons why youth enter CSEC markets are
complex, but the chronic lack of jobs for youth in many
neighborhoods is a significant factor. Many indicated they were
still actively "looking for a job" and did not like being a
prostitute to earn money. Girls, boys, and transgender youth all
apparently entered the commercial sex market at about the age of 15
and a half. Unexpectedly, pimps were not key actors in bringing
youth into the market or in controlling them once they were in the
market. A high percentage of youth reported that their "friends"
were responsible for their entry to the markets, although it seemed
to researchers that their "friends" were sometimes acting on behalf
of pimps. Almost all of the youth reported serving male customers,
who were predominately White and between 25 and 55 years old.
Information is also provided on law enforcement encounters and
current services for these youth. Data were obtained from a sample
of 329 youth recruited for this study.
