| dc.description.abstract | Human trafficking of youth under the age of 18 is a social problem of growing concern. Within the United States, the existence of trafficking is well established, yet not well understood. The authorization of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) in 2000 firmly endorsed a victim-centered approach to young people who are trafficked. The TVPA defines a person under the age of 18 who is involved in a commercial sex act as a victim of human trafficking, regardless of whether force, fraud, or coercion is involved. Labor trafficking, as defined by the TVPA, is the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery. Law enforcement response to trafficking is generally determined by state law rather than by Federal law. The evaluation addressed four questions: 1. What are the characteristics of young people who are trafficked, including both sex and labor trafficking? 2. What services do young people who were trafficked need? What services do the OVC-funded programs provide, either through their own resources or through partner agencies? 3. How is the implementation process viewed by program staff, partner agencies, and those who receive services? 4. How are programs working to strengthen community response to trafficked youth?
