Description:
|
In 2007 a series of articles about a youth arrested for prostitution in King County appeared in a local publication. Concern about this arrest and the publication's report of the subsequent process caused a group of concerned providers, funders and criminal justice representatives to sit down together to share knowledge and information about these youth, and the community's
response to their situation. The group agreed that an improved coordinated community response to assist youth in prostitution is needed and that the solutions involve many players and a strong political will to implement the needed change. The group posed a number of questions and in response, the City of Seattle's Human Services Department's Domestic Violence and Sexual
Assault Prevention Division commissioned this Assessment of Youth in Prostitution.
Components of the assessment include:
1. Estimates of the number of youth (18 and younger) involved in prostitution and other forms of commercial sexual exploitation in Seattle and the outlying areas,
2. Descriptions of trends and patterns in adolescent commercial sexual exploitation,
3. Assessment of service utilization and service gaps,
4. The degree to which the current system of community-based providers and criminal justice entities coordinate their response to these youth, and
5. Recommendations for service models and interventions. |
