Abstract
This paper looks at websites that further the dissemination of information regarding child exploitation. The paper examines three such websites, from End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes (ECPAT) and from the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS) of the United States Department of Justice Criminal Division, and ChildSafe Cambodia.

From the Paper
"In contrast to ECPAT-USA's and ChildSafe Cambodia's websites, the CEOS section of the U.S. Department of Justice site provides news and updates primarily related to U.S. government activities in the war against Child Pornography, Prostitution, and Trafficking. Speeches from government representatives are available, along with information related to the passage of new laws, including Congressional testimony, aimed at supporting these activities (United States Department of Justice, Criminal Division). These first two websites, ECPAT-USA and CEOS, focus primarily on the United States, as opposed to the last focus of this paper, ChildSafe Cambodia."

Abstract
This paper discusses the problem of child trafficking for any commercial exploitation of children in the broad sense and sex trafficking in particular. It provides the definition of trafficking as well as statistics and details of organizations that are trying to stop these practices.

From the Paper
"Today's world citizens are proud of the many accomplishments humanity has achieved. In many aspects, humanity has managed to improve people's lives, whether through laws, giving people an opportunity to enjoy their birth-given rights, through improved medical care, which offers the promise of life despite illness, or through advancements in technology, which have permeated every facet of life. In the U.S. alone, very recent history unveils the achievements of its citizens: slavery has been abolished; laws are in place to prevent child labor; the legal system guards many freedoms that people of a few generations ago could not enjoy; almost everyone has access to education; and many other achievements that today's citizens take for granted. Considering the many accomplishments in the U.S. and worldwide, most people will certainly approach the issue of child sex trafficking with disbelief at first. Others will ignore it, especially if they believe that it does not happen in their country. However, as unbelievable the problem is, and as much as some would attempt to ignore it, one fact remains: child trafficking is a serious problem that needs to be addressed, not only by countries most affected by it, but by the global community as well."

Abstract
The paper looks at the impact of child sexual abuse upon developing sexuality, sexual functioning, sexual promiscuity (and sexual expressiveness), and also the impact of child sexual abuse upon conceptualizations of self-efficacy and self-esteem. Ultimately, what the paper shows is that childhood sexual abuse leads to disassociative emotional traits and to feelings of diminished self-efficacy and self-esteem that provoke high-risk behaviours; childhood sexual abuse also destroys the capacity of individuals to love romantically or to nurture long-term relationships. In the end, the paper concludes that when a child is abused during the early stages of life, he or she will become emotionally stunted (in all likelihood) and will resort to behaviour that can run the gamut - from personally destructive to destructive towards others.

Abstract
This paper begins by explaining how a child sex offender is defined and then takes a look at the reasons that make it difficult to determine its prevalence in society. The paper points out that the tendency to under report child sex offense cases as well as the tendency to downplay or dismiss the sexually abusive conduct as simple sexual curiosity make dealing with the problem more difficult. The paper also discusses problems with the way law enforcement handles child sex offense cases and the unfortunate results of not taking seriously this very threatening behavior. Additionally, the paper describes the differences between male child sex offenders and female child sex offenders and discusses some of the treatment options now available for these offenders.

From the Paper
"In addition to the fact that treatment and counseling are often suggested as opposed to criminal prosecution, is the fact that minors are often given the opportunity top plea bargain out of more serious charges, and therefore avoid the stigma of the, "sex offender" for the remainder of their lives. This leniency does more to enable the behavior in the future, than cure the problem and help the individual in the meantime. Additionally, it does nothing to reward brave victims for asserting their rights to be free from sexual assaults regardless of the age of the persecutor."

Abstract
This research paper discusses the history of child sex offending, the legal definitions of sex offender and sexual predator, why they abuse, and who they are. The paper looks at theories and assessment, treatment, and civil commitment. It lists the seven reasons child sexual predators are so dangerous and the weapons they utilize, including manipulation and secrecy.

From the Paper
"Sex offenders report regularly to probation officers, who ensure they follow the rules; to social workers who provide psychological support and services; and to polygraph examiners who can assess an offender's truthfulness about contacts with children or possession of pornography (Waters, 2004). "The more structure that is given to a sex offender, the fewer sexual re-offenses occur", says Charles Onley, researcher associate with the Center for Sex Offender Management (Waters, 2004)."

Abstract
This paper is an argumentative discussion of sex tourism. It discusses the sources of demand that drive it and the government inactivity that permits it to thrive. The paper examines the problem of the sex tourism business targeting women and children in the poorest countries.

From the Paper
"A working definition of sex tourism is tourism partially or fully for the purpose of having sex often with prostitutes. According to Jo Sargent writing for Geographical child sex tourism is a deeply uncomfortable subject. Many people are unaware of how widespread this practice is in many parts of the world and especially in the third world. However there are many people who are well aware of the problem and choose to ignore it. There are also many international travelers who are unsure of ..."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer notes that although there have been many changes made in the last 10 years, same-sex adoption is still a major controversy issue in today's society. The writer uses relevant literature to demonstrate statistics regarding same-sex adoption. The writer maintains that many people believe that same-sex adoption is immoral and unethical. On the other hand, many people believe that same-sex adoption is acceptable, because they believe that the welfare of the child is more important than the gender of the child. The writer concludes that as long as the child is properly cared for mentally, physically and emotionally, the gender of the child should not be an issue.

From the Paper
"Although the percentage rate of same-sex adoption has approved 64 % in the last 4 years, it is still a major issue in today's society. Some people believe that same-sex adoption is wrong, simply because the union itself is non-traditional. Therefore adoption is unethical. Others believe that same-sex adoption is acceptable, because they believe that the child should be raised with two parents that love him or her, regardless of the parent's gender. As long as the child is being cared for properly, in all aspects, mentally, physically, and emotionally there should not be any dispute of the parent's gender."

Abstract
This paper discusses child molesters who live in the Bay Area and how the community can take various actions to ensure that its children will be safe. The paper, noting that the only real systematic intervention in the Bay Area, where child molesters are allowed to live anywhere they want once they are paroled and released, is the Megan's law which requires sex offenders to register with the state and making public this information. The author urges stricter restrictions on the movements and whereabouts of child molesters as conditions of their parole. The paper also suggests ways in which communities in the Bay Area can be more active in order to achieve a peace of mind and sufficient community-empowered security.

From the Paper
"Child molesters in the Bay Area, like any other part of the country, are allowed to go live basically anywhere they want once they are paroled and released from the custody of the state. The only real systematic intervention offering the public empowerment to protect is the Megan's law rule that requires sex offenders to register with the state, and making this information available to the public."
