Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how to identify and prevent sexual exploitation of students in your school! Though most schools are safe environments for students, research shows that sexual abuse of children at all levels is on the rise. Recent media attention has captured the public's growing concern about the number of cases involving boys molested by adult females. Nationally recognized risk management expert and author Robert J. Shoop was recently quoted in USA Today (November 30, 2005), noting that "In the past 18 months, at least 25 cases nationwide involved female teachers molesting students." He has also addressed the topic of sexual exploitation as a guest on CNN, The Today Show, ABC's 20/20, ESPN's Outside the Lines, and other independent television talk shows. In his new book, Shoop identifies the early warning signs of sexual abuse in schools. Based on interviews, newspaper reports, journal articles, court records, and personal experiences gained from 25 years of consulting with school districts in the areas of harassment, abuse, risk management and negligence, this book demonstrates the critical need to implement strategies so students are protected while also learning how to protect themselves. Shoop's two-fold objectives are: How to spot sexual exploitation and what early warning signs to look for and How to stop sexual exploitation--actions that schools and parents can take to prevent sexual abuse, and how to respond promptly and appropriately if it occurs Sexual Exploitation in Schools prepares educators to manage one of the most difficult and troubling issues in our public and private schools. Explanations are provided concerning the legal context, consequences and pathology of sexual exploitation, district and employee rights, conducting an investigation, and steps educators and parents can take so that students will be safe in their learning environment, leading to a successful and healthy future.

Download or read book Confronting Commercial Sexual Exploitation and Sex Trafficking of Minors in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book That Same Ten Dollars written by Crystal Washington and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-22 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the many instances of sexual exploitation inside of St. Louis Public Schools. A teacher details reporting sexual misconduct of adults that went ignored by administration and the school board. Solutions are suggested that will provide safety for vulnerable students. The Author has taught at 11 at-risk failing schools and describes countless incidents of sexual harassment, exploitation and abuse of underage students. The schools where these incidents occurred range from elementary to high schools. Students and staff reported sex-trafficking, prostitution and sexual abuse which at times happened right inside of the school building. Administration covered up and supported predators who were family and friend of theirs. Students were encouraged to engage in sexual activity. These incidents were daily significant violations that became part of the school culture. Students were exposed to immoral staff, harassment and exploitation all throughout the day. These book was written to alarm parents and other stakeholders to the criminal activity that are inside of schools because the institutions choose to hide this culture because they fear being shut down. There are millions of dollars involved in every school building that exists in America. Many parents are not aware of the extent of these exploitations. The first school that is mentioned in the book is located in a community filled with strip clubs! This school also gave citizens who were found hanging in the streets, jobs as a means to increase employment in Illinois. These adults preyed upon the students because they grew up in a culture of sex in their neighborhoods. These adults would make sexual explicit comments right in front of the teacher. Administrators and Board Members were aware of the culture but chose to blame the victims because they were family and/or friends. The teacher receives death threats for intervening. Towards the end of the book, the teacher accounts experiences with attempting to report sexual harassment and sexual assault of a 2nd grade student by fellow students along with an incident involving a security officer and a kindergartner. In both cases, administrators fell to inquire about her complaints and at times discouraged her from filing an incident report. The book also describes incidents in the surrounding community involving sexual exploitation and rape of young girls which police officers and elected officials fail to take the report. Surprisingly, in one incident an elected official joined in with exploiting a 13 year old girl. The author gives solutions at the end of the book which she believes would be a step in solving the problem. This book is part of a 'Me Too', 3 book series. Each book includes a situation in which she filed a lawsuit against a school for reporting sexual misconduct and and was terminated and harrassed. These incidents spanned almost 2 decades and the schools are located in St. Louis Missouri and East St. Louis, Illinois. That Same Ten Dollars is the first book in the series. The other books have not been titled or released yet.

Download or read book Understanding and Responding to Child Sexual Exploitation written by Helen Beckett and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of child sexual exploitation (CSE) has received intense scrutiny in recent years, following a number of high profile legal cases, serious case reviews and inquiries. This has resulted in increasing expectations that those working in the field will know how to appropriately manage and respond to this form of abuse. Of course, this is no easy task given the widely acknowledged difficulties of identifying and responding to sexual abuse and the particular complexities associated with the gain dynamic within CSE and the predominantly older age of children affected by it. This edited collection draws on the latest research evidence and academic thinking around CSE to consider issues of understanding and response. Written by researchers from ‘The International Centre: Researching child sexual exploitation, violence and trafficking’ at the University of Bedfordshire, Part I considers issues of understanding and conceptualisation. Part II considers the practical implications of some of this thinking, sharing learning from research and evaluation on prevention, identification and response. Understanding and Responding to Child Exploitation presents critical learning for academics and students, and for those working in the fields of policy, practice and commissioning. It is relevant to a wide range of disciplines including social care, youth work, education, criminology, health and social policy.

Download or read book Monitoring State Compliance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child written by Ziba Vaghri and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book presents a discussion on human rights-based attributes for each article pertinent to the substantive rights of children, as defined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). It provides the reader with a unique and clear overview of the scope and core content of the articles, together with an analysis of the latest jurisprudence of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. For each article of the UNCRC, the authors explore the nature and scope of corresponding State obligations, and identify the main features that need to be taken into consideration when assessing a State’s progressive implementation of the UNCRC. This analysis considers which aspects of a given right are most important to track, in order to monitor States' implementation of any given right, and whether there is any resultant change in the lives of children. This approach transforms the narrative of legal international standards concerning a given right into a set of characteristics that ensure no aspect of said right is overlooked. The book develops a clear and comprehensive understanding of the UNCRC that can be used as an introduction to the rights and principles it contains, and to identify directions for future policy and strategy development in compliance with the UNCRC. As such, it offers an invaluable reference guide for researchers and students in the field of childhood and children’s rights studies, as well as a wide range of professionals and organisations concerned with the subject.

Download or read book Creating Cultures of Consent written by Laura McGuire and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-03-05 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With conversations about sexual violence, consent, and bodily autonomy dominating national conversations it can be easy to get lost in the onslaught of well-intended but often poorly executed messages. Through an exploration of research, scholarly expertise, and practical real-world application we can better formulate an understanding of what consent is, how we create consent cultures, and where the path forward lies. This book is designed with both educators and parents in mind. The tools highlighted throughout help adults unlearn harmful narratives about consent, boundaries, and relationships so that they can begin their work internally through modeling and self-reflection. We then uncover what consent truly is and is not, how culture plays an integral role in interpersonal scripting, and how teaching consent as a life skill can look in and out of the classroom. By integrating the need for consent to be taught in schools and homes we build bridges between the spaces where children learn and create alliances in the often-daunting task of eradicating rape-culture. This book is perfect for those already comfortable and familiar with this topic as well as those newer to understanding consent as a paradigm. Starting with a strong historical and research-informed foundation the book builds into action-oriented guidelines for conversations, curriculum, and community activism. This blended approach creates a guidebook that is unlike anything else on the market today.
