520 This concise and accessible new text examines the
correlations between runaway children and teenage
prostitution in the United States from a criminological,
sociological, and psychological perspective. The author
takes a systematic approach to defining and describing the
differences between youth who run away from home and those
who leave institutional settings and distinguishes the
difference between runaway and throwaway children. A
careful examination of teenage prostitution among girls
and boys helps to illuminate the special problems faced by
children who have run away. In addition, the author
discusses laws related to runaways, teenage prostitution,
and the sexual exploitation of minors as well as the
criminal justice response to the problems. Runaways and
prostitution involving youth in other countries is also
explored. The text's findings support current conclusions
on the characteristics of runaways, the relationship
between runaways and teen prostitution, and the
implications of running away from home. Runaway Kids
and Teenage Prostitution is divided into five parts. Part
I examines the scope and dynamics of running away and
differentiates between runaways and throwaways. Part II
explores teenage prostitution and provides information on
girl and boy prostitutes and the people who exploit them.
Child sexual abuse and child pornography as correlates to
the problem are studied in Part III, and Part IV reviews
the law that atttempts to combat teenage prostitution.
Part V is devoted to an examination of the scope and
significance of the problem in other countries. Together,
these chapters provide readers with a clear picture of the
problem of runaways and teenage prostitution in the United
States and around the world
