Adolescent Perspectives on Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children Prevention Programming: What do Prevention Developers Need to Know?
The commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) is confirmed across all racial and ethnic identities, socioeconomic statuses, geographic regions, and backgrounds, underscoring a need for greater general awareness of the crime and the many trajectories of abuse it may encompass. CSEC prevention programs are one suggested method of averting initial or re-victimization of particularly vulnerable children and youth, as well as providing youth w…
Community-Based Logic Model Development to Evaluate a Youth Sexual Exploitation Prevention Curriculum: A Mixed-Methods Study
Commercial sexual exploitation of youth (CSEY) causes significant physical and emotional harm, yet prevention research and intervention is nascent and scant. This paper describes how our study team developed and refined a logic model to guide a rigorous, multi-site, randomized control trial evaluation of a curriculum for youth to prevent commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking through increased problem recognition and help-seeking.

Help-Seeking Among Children Impacted by Commercial Sexual Exploitation: A Scoping Review
This scoping review aims to summarize current research on help-seeking behaviors and patterns among children who have experienced commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) victimization and/or are at high risk of exploitation. Because the literature on help-seeking specific to CSEC victimization is limited, the current review was expanded to summarize findings from help-seeking research for children who have experienced harms that often c…
Expanding Our Understanding of Traffickers and Their Operations: A Review of the Literature and Path Forward
Human trafficking is a serious crime and violation of human rights that results in numerous harms. Although the phenomenon is not new, scholarship on the issue has grown substantially since the first legal framework was passed in 2000. However, the existing literature has been criticized for its skewed focus on victims, among other things. The dearth of information on traffickers and their operations limits our ability to reduce or prevent perpet…

Data on 7 mental health measures and 4 school-related and health care–related protec…
Cutting School: The Privatization, Segregation, and the End of Public Education
The problem of access
This chapter addresses in relation to secrecy and methods is how to examine these “postsecret” places by using a wide range of data sources, some of which may be considered unorthodox by traditional social scientific standards. It offers some guidelines regarding how one might go about conducting research on secret sites. The chapter looks at the outset that not every formerly secret site would qualify as postsecret. It discusses the idea of post…

Sex and sensibilities: Doing action research while respecting even inspiring dignity
Security
This chapter provides an overview of recent political geographical research on security, a term widely – and often vaguely – applied to matters of state, livelihoods, environment, economy, and social stability. It begins by reviewing four dominant approaches to security and securitization: constructivist theories of securitization as speech acts; performative theories of securitization as citation, circulation, and reiteration; theories of securi…
