Child Exploitation: Some Pieces of the Puzzle.
Rohlader, Dorothy
The report addresses the status in North Carolina and in the nation of child exploitation. Legislative and judicial backgrounds of child pornography and child prostitution are reviewed, and difficulties in obtaining statistical data are noted. Law enforcement issues in pornography are cited, and suggestions for further legislation regarding child pornography are also covered. Issues in missing children in the state are briefly addressed. A discussion of the national perspective on child exploitation centers on the offenders and the victims of child pornography, child prostitution, and runaway children. Physical and psychological effects of sexual exploitation are reviewed. Difficulties with previous federal legislation are described, along with the 1982 Missing Children's Act and pending legislation. Appendixes include the North Carolina Child Protection Act of 1983 and criminal law involving rape and other sex offenses. (CL)
