Abstract
This National Strategy for Child Exploitation Prevention and Interdiction has described in detail the
current efforts of the Department of Justice and its law enforcement partners to find, prosecute, and
punish those who prey on the nation’s children. It has described, as well, efforts by those agencies
and others to engage in public outreach and awareness to prevent children from being victimized in
the first place, whether through enticement of the unwary on-line or through their exploitation on
the streets of the nation’s cities. It addressed the unique circumstances that lead to child exploitation
in Indian County and the responses that are necessary to protect tribal victims. It further detailed
the efforts by the Department and other agencies to provide services to children that account for the
complex, intersecting, and long-lasting harms that exploitation causes. And it has forecast a future
of greater technological and global threats. In order to face those threats, the National Strategy has
outlined a series of goals for law enforcement, prosecutors, and victim service providers, among
others, for protecting the nation’s children. Most importantly, the National Strategy reaffirms our
unwavering commitment to ensuring that all children in America are able to reach their potential and
are protected from violence and abuse.
