Summary: This webinar, originally presented live on June 18th, 2024, explains what commercial sexual exploitation is, how children may become a victim of it, and how to identify it to prevent further exploitation. The training will include information about how commercially sexually exploited children (CSEC) may end up in the juvenile justice system, how to identify them, and what services to provide to them. The training will emphasize treating such children as victims. CSEC youth are at risk for juvenile justice involvement. Raising awareness about CSEC and teaching how to recognize it and how to prevent it are important aspects of delinquency prevention and keeping CSEC youth out of the juvenile justice system and preventing further penetration into the system of CSEC youth already in the system. This is supportive of and consistent with OJJDP mission to address and prevent delinquency, and is consistent with the priorities of treating children as children, and treating children at home, with their families, in their communities.
Learning Objectives:
(1) Understanding what CSEC is and how children may become a victim of it.
(2) Understanding how to recognize CSEC within the juvenile justice system and outside of it.
(3) Understanding that CSEC youth in the juvenile justice are victims and should be treated as such.
