OpportunityTitle: OJJDP FY 09 Improving Community Response to the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children
Description: The purpose of this program is to support selected communities in combating the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC), including youth under 18, by improving training and coordination activities within the community. OJJDP will also assist participating communities in developing policies and procedures to identify CSEC victims, adopting best practices for addressing CSEC, and completing a needs assessment to identify and fill gaps in local service provision to victims, such as mental and physical health services and temporary shelter. This program is authorized by the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974, as amended (42 U.S.C. 5771 et seq.).
