Proposition 35-Californians Against Sexual Exploitation ( CASE Act )

The Department of Justice states that, “Pimps and traffickers sexually exploit children through street prostitution, adult nightclubs, illegal brothels, sex parties, motel and hotel rooms, and other locations throughout the United States” (DOJ 2013). These residential brothels and underground business are said to keep the children out of the spotlight and ran by criminal trafficking groups. According to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center, “most residential brothels are advertised online, through newspapers, business cards, and word of mouth to keep law enforcement away. This is so, the through the public eye, the sex trafficking business is looked upon as an alternative business, using code language to indicate how to obtain commercial

Senate Bill 420 would recast provisions by clearly defining prostitution and separating the buyers from the sellers. This bill not only defines the crime of prostitution but it also divides the crime into three sections: the involvement of the buyer, the involvement of the seller, and/or the involvement of a minor.

Bill C-36 was introduced on June 4, 2014 with “the overall objective of reducing the demands for prostitution with a view to discouraging entry into it, deterring participants in it and ultimately abolishing it to the greatest extent possible” (Department of Justice Canada, 2014, p. 3). According to the Department of Justice 's Technical Paper, this paradigm shift operates under the view of prostitution as a form of sexual exploitation that negatively and disproportionately impacts on women and girls. The new law is referred to as “made-in-Canada” model which makes prostitution per se not illegal, but “directly targets the demand” for prostitution (Department of Justice Canada, 2014). Minister of Justice and Attorney General of

CSEC is a systemic problem, its hidden nature exists throughout local, community, state, and global levels. The first international effort to acknowledge CSEC and develop combatting guidelines was The First World Congress against Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children in 1996 held in Stockholm, Sweden (Miller-Perrin & Wurtele, 2017). Since the First World Congress, many additional international legal

Ethics is the unwritten rules of society. It is a code that guides acceptable behaviour through action. Ethics is about you and how you should act a certain way to fit a set of beliefs to please society. It contributes to guiding your morals and setting a foundation for your decisions. Prostitution is a heavy weight on society's unwritten rules of ethics, and in the eyes of many canadians, prostitution is morally wrong. Knowing prostitution will never be diminished, Bill C-36 was introduced to counteract the issues of prostitution in Canada. Bill C-36 continues to allow the selling of sex, but prohibits the buying of sex. As result, this allows sexworkers to continue to support themselves without being

The government, instead of ensuring proper implementation of the rehabilitation and correction of the children in conflict with the law is shredding its responsibility through this retrograde law, holding the children accountable for the failures of our juvenile correctional institutions. This would never succeed as a deterrent and would only serve to ostracize them. This amendment to the preexisting law, not only lacks a rational social objective but also constitutional validity. The selective and unequal treatment of children between the age group of 16-18 years clearly violates the fundamental rights guaranteed under Article 14 extending equal protection of law and equality before the law and Article 15 (3) of the Constitution allowing

Atlanta was ranked in the top 14 cities in the United States for the highest rates of children used in prostitution by the FBI. Approximately 12,400 men purchase sex with young women in Georgia in any given month; 100 females are sexually exploited every night. The victims are predominantly pre-adolescent females, between the ages of 12 and 14, who find themselves in dangerous and life-altering situations usually at the hands of someone they know and trust. Before 2011, when the House Bill 200: Georgia’s Human Trafficking Law, children found to be prostituting were arrested while their oppressors were not. Today, while children are no longer jailed and those involved in their slavery are arrested, the city still lacks a structured support

The formal and informal onboarding program both send a distinct message to the new hire so it is important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of both. First, informal plans are unstructured and without an explicit plan. An advantage of the informal plan is your company will be able to see right away if the new employee can adjust and learn quickly on their own. It is a sink-or-swim tactic that puts pressure on the employee to learn quickly without devoting any money or resources to training the new hire. Disadvantages of this approach is that the onboarding is very loose without any support or direction. It does not consider their needs and the process can vary for every new hire because there is not a system that has the steps

With the escalation of murders and rapes committed by minors as seen in recent years the people are looking for the right answer. Public concern over the effectiveness of the juvenile courts when dealing with these offenders has brought about change in the justice system. (Stolba, 2001). The courts now, are quicker to transfer a juveniles’ case to adult court than when the juvenile system was first formed. There stands a conflict of interests within the two court systems. Juvenile courts are to protect the rights of youths determined incapable of adult decisions. The primary concern is that the youth be rehabilitated and not become a repeat offender. Thus, protecting the child from incarceration with adult criminals and any possible future victims. The concerns of the adult court is to make sure the convicted offender pays for their crime and that the victim gets justice. Rehabilitation is not a primary concer of the adult justice system.

Criminalization of Illinois’s human trafficking laws include solicitation of a sexual act, promoting juvenile prostitution, patronizing a minor engaged in prostitution,

During the last two years of my high school career, I accepted the responsibility of tutoring Abby , a young elementary student with ADHD. As I reflect now, I see that not only did I teach Abby, but Abby taught me. Not only did she increase my patience, but she solidified the idea in my head that social work was, in fact, my destined career path. Unfortunately, this solidification occurred while I watched her revictimization by the Nappanee Police Department, (NPD), who mishandled her molestation case. What follows is a synopsis of Indiana’s sexual assault policies, their weaknesses, and the distressing consequences of their shortcomings.

Girls who are victims of sex trafficking, are also charged with the federal offense of prostitution in court. Being sentenced with this charge, their compensation and benefits provided by the government are immediately taken away. They are left with nothing and have to spend much of their life in juvenile detention centers. Of the 3,000 girls who are caught and tried, approximately 1,500 are charged with child prostitution (see Appendix A). In the unlikely case where the girl is a seen as a victim in the eyes of the court, the judge will keep them in the juvenile detention center because they are at risk of being murdered by their old pimp. About 1,000 girls are murdered by their pimp once they leave the federal housing, annually.

Bill C-36 was implemented by the Harper government in 2014. The bill was influenced by the Bedford case and as a result focused on criminalizing the purchasing of sex. Another influencing fact of the bill

Prostitution, the practice of exchanging sexual acts for payment, is referred to as “most ancient profession in the world (Kipling, R. 1898) this practice is evident in every corner of the world, and dates back to before the invention of time. Despite its universality, the way that prostitution is perceived and dealt with differs drastically from culture to culture. While it is legal in some countries, it is considered punishable by death in others. In the United States those that perform and purchase sexual acts for hire are considered criminals, who make a living outside of the law. Despite its illegalization, full service sex work is alive and flourishing in the states, leaving those who use prostitution as a means of survival without any protection from the government. Because the criminalization of prostitution has done little to decline the popularity of the trade, Government officials have received pressure to follow in the footsteps of several other countries, and reverse the law to make the practice legal and government regulated. Based on some success in small Nevada Territories, this action will make conditions safer and beneficial to the general public. Prostitution is dangerous for women and men and we should change the justice system to help them instead of prosecute them.
