No CRS summary available for this bill.
This section requires the national strategy for child exploitation prevention and interdiction, as established by the PROTECT Our Children Act of 2008, to include two additional elements: (1) plans for coordination with nonprofit organizations and institutions of higher education on preventing, identifying, and responding to crimes against children—including physical abuse, sexual abuse, abduction, sexual exploitation, and trafficking—and providing evidence-based guidance to support child victims; and (2) recommendations for federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies on best practices for preventing and identifying such crimes and supporting child victims. (As background, the strategy, developed by the Attorney General, coordinates federal efforts to combat child exploitation.)
