Proposition 35-Californians Against Sexual Exploitation ( CASE Act )

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

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

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

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

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

An overwhelming increasing amount of American children are trafficked into the national and international sex industry. In 1995, the United States government shaped a task force with representatives from federal agencies and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The task force was accountable for originating research about the sexual exploitation of children and was contributory in improving and modifying legislation to contain stricter penalties for perpetrators, culminating in 2000 with the passing of TVPA. Many of the domestic victims of sexual exploitation are susceptible youth on the street or from the foster care organization or ones who previously had a fight with parents trying to find a way out.

While researching sexual exploitation, I have learned that sexual exploitation occurs all throughout the United States frequently. The more I researched, the more occurrences of child sexual exploitation I found. I discovered that children are often tricked into being sexually exploited by predators. Predators trick children by showing affection, pretending to care about the victim, engaging in false relationships, or threatening the victim. Granted that when children are sexually exploited, they are deceived to produce pornography or engage in sex trafficking. Pimp-street prostitution, escort services, and brothels are all forms of sex trafficking. Sex trafficking transpires in the United States daily even when laws are created to prevent and end the act. Stopping sexual exploitation is a difficult problem to prevent because many crimes go unreported. The effects of sexual exploitation of children are psychologically and emotionally scarring. Likewise, survivors often need help to recover after being traumatically exploited. There are several organizations and laws that help victims of sexual exploitation.

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

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.

This will tell you the exact information about sex trafficking and where does this go to. It's a reality facing the challenge from the FBI. The thesis in this article is human sex trafficking is the most common form of modern-day slavery. Estimating the number of people whether domestic or international victims in the million, mostly females and children enslaved in the commercial sex industry for little or no money, it can happen locally in cities or towns. This article talks about people who have been victimized and targeted in this industry; they get treated like garbage. They say the average age at which girls first become victims of prostitution is 12 and 14. It is not only the girls on the streets who are affected; boys and transgender youth enter into prostitution between the ages of 11 and 13 on average. (Amanda Walker & Rodney Hill, 2011). Most of these victims are locked in the room and being tortured every day of their life. Traffickers use force, drugs, emotional tactics and financial methods to control their victims; for young girls, it's easier for them because firstly they are young and they have no sense of what's going on. I know these type of people who force them to get married in early ages and do stuff with them. The biases within the article are telling us in June 2003 the FBI in conjunction with the Department of Justice Child Exploitation

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.

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.
