Abstract:

The involvement of youth in prostitution has proven to be a difficult and complex issue for law enforcement, child welfare, and social service agencies to confront. This stems from the complicated social and legal aspects of the problem, which have created considerable ambiguity in how to recognize, define and, ultimately, handle juveniles engaging in prostitution. This research project examines how juvenile prostitutes are currently conceptualized by law enforcement, as victims of child sexual abuse or as delinquent offenders, by examining law enforcementÂ’s response to this social problem. Information was gathered on one hundred and twenty-four juveniles who had engaged in prostitution, from six major U.S. cities. Each case is examined to determine if the juvenile has been treated as a victim, as an offender or as both by law enforcement. Analyses examine factors which affect law enforcement decision making about how to handle cases in which juveniles are involved in prostitution.
