The overall goal of the LEA-CST Study was to assess and document the extent that law enforcement has been changing practices to child sex trafficking investigations from a delinquency-oriented response to a victim-centered approach.
LEA-CST is a study of local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to collect information from across the nation about the justice system's response to child sex trafficking.
Funded by: The National Institute of Justice, award 2020-MU-CX-0041.
