Abstract
This project has been created as a means to address and prevent commercial sexual exploitation of children and youth who are dependents of the court in a rural community. The rising issues surrounding commercial sexual exploitation of children and youth has prompted new legislation that requires federal and state agencies to provide prevention education for "at risk" children and youth. Children and youth who are dependents of the court have been identified as being "at risk" of becoming victims of sexual abuse and exploitation. The purpose of this project was to research and analyze available commercial sexual exploitation prevention education and make recommendations on which curriculum or combination of curricula best suits the needs of a rural community.
