From July 21: Across the U.S., there is a movement to prioritize human trafficking prevention in our nation's communities. Schools, youth service programs, juvenile corrections services, group homes, and other youth-oriented spaces have begun to recognize their great potential to empower youth to stay safe from exploitation. Because our youth are experiencing exploitation now, we have to prioritize prevention now. We need to prevent it before it grows. And if you want to eradicate the weed of exploitation entirely, you must go for the roots.

From Aug. 4: Sexual violence is a global public health problem that can be prevented. Effective prevention requires multiple efforts across the social ecology. Efforts at individual,
relationship, organizational, community, and societal levels are needed. To end sexual violence, we need to know the true scope of its prevalence, the factors that influence its occurrence, and the most effective strategies to address and prevent it.

The Denver Post
From Sept. 22: “Oh boy,” my son said, rolling his eyes. “Not rape culture again.”
We were sitting around the dinner table talking about the news. As soon as I mentioned the Stanford sexual assault case, my sons looked at each other. They knew what was coming. They’ve been listening to me talk about consent, misogyny and rape culture since they were tweens. They listened to me then, but they are 16 and 18 now and they roll their eyes and argue when I talk to them about sexism and misogyny.

Pharmaceutical Processing
From April 14: Childhood sexual abuse is not a topic many want to talk about — a point that Swedish researchers working on a pharmaceutical approach to curing pedophilia acknowledge. But it’s also a widespread problem.
According to Priotab, a research project being held at Sweden’s Karolinska Institute, about one in 10 girls and one in 20 boys are sexually abused in childhood, and roughly half of those abuses are performed by men with “pedophilic disorder.”

National Institute of Justice
From Jan. 14: It has long been known that the participation of the victim of an alleged sexual
assault can be critical to the success of investigating and prosecuting a criminal
case. When the National Institute of Justice awarded funding to Detroit and
Houston to look at the issue of previously untested evidence in sexual assault
cases, the Institute required that both jurisdictions create multidisciplinary teams
including police investigators, crime lab analysts, prosecutors and victim service
providers.

From Aug. 25: When a sexual assault occurs, the victim is likely suffering the most traumatic experience of her life.
Soon after the crime, her mind might be reeling as to whether to report it to the police, especially if the offender is a relative or close acquaintance.
With that in mind, sexual assault nurse examiners (SANE) try to comfort the victims, while not adding any undue stress.

From June 9: For several years, John Snelgrove began his workweek with a lengthy fax from the local police, listing the home addresses where officers had answered domestic violence calls over the weekend.
Snelgrove, head of guidance services for Brockton (Mass.) Public Schools, would check those addresses against the district’s student database. When a match came up, he’d alert the counselor at that child’s school, who, in turn, would take a red envelope and deliver it to the child’s teacher. Inside was a slip of paper with a student’s name and a quick prescription for “TLC.”

The Atlantic (commentary)
From Feb. 11: America’s 3 million nurses make up the largest segment of the health-care workforce in the U.S., and nursing is currently one of the fastest-growing occupations in the country. Despite that growth, demand is outpacing supply. By 2022, The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects, there will be more than a million job openings for nurses, a considerable shortfall.
