3.Congress finds the following:(1)Recent studies indicate that thousands of children and youth are at risk for human trafficking in
the United States.(2)A significant percentage of children and youth who are trafficked in the United States will commit
prostitution offenses
or other nonviolent offenses in connection with their exploitation by a
trafficker.(3)The prostitution statutes in many jurisdictions do not differentiate between adult prostitutes and
children or youths who have been commercially sexually exploited.(4)Evidence suggests that runaway or homeless children and youth and young adults leaving the foster
care system are especially vulnerable to commercial sexual exploitation.(5)The majority of children and youths who are involved in the criminal or justice systems are
responsive to interventions that integrate treatment, rehabilitation, and
support services.(6)Collaborative programs between services providers and criminal or juvenile justice systems that
ensure the provision of counseling, housing and related services for
trafficking victims can reduce the number of such individuals in
corrections facilities.4.(a)The purpose of this Act is to combat domestic human trafficking by facilitating
collaboration among the criminal justice system, juvenile justice system,
and support services.(b)The collaboration described in subsection (a) is needed—(1)to protect public safety by intervening with juvenile offenders who have been trafficked;(2)to provide courts, including new trafficking victims’ courts, with appropriate treatment options;(3)to maximize the use of alternatives to prosecution in appropriate cases involving youths who have
committed nonviolent offenses, such as prostitution, in connection with
their exploitation by a trafficker;(4)to promote adequate training for criminal justice system personnel about the unique challenges
facing juveniles who have been trafficked and the appropriate response to
such children and youths in the criminal justice system;(5)to promote communication among adult or juvenile justice personnel, medical personnel, mental
health treatment personnel, and support services such as housing, job
placement, community, faith based, and crime victims organizations; and(6)to promote communication and collaboration among governmental officials with respect to all forms
of human trafficking in the United States.<enum>I</enum><header>Stop Advertising Victims of Exploitation</header><section id="HD4BE0A69FAF94FB8833CF6A3D9A35B28" section-type="subsequent-section"><enum>101.</enum><header>Short title</header><text display-inline="no-display-inline">This title may be cited as the <quote><short-title>Stop Advertising Victims of Exploitation Act of 2014</short-title></quote> or the <quote><short-title>SAVE Act of 2014</short-title></quote>.</text>
