News Release: Study of Ex-Pimps in Chicago Released. DePaul University. September 15, 2010.
http://newsroom.depaul.edu/NewsReleases/showNews.aspx?NID=2278
Excerpt: A new study of ex-pimps and madams in the Chicago area shows that most of them were victims of
prostitution prior to becoming pimps and had family members involved in the illegal sex trade. Jody Raphael,
senior research fellow at the Schiller DuCanto & Fleck Family Law Center at the DePaul University College of
Law, and co-author Brenda Myers-Powell, released their findings today in “From Victims to Victimizers:
Interviews with 25 Ex-Pimps in Chicago,” during a conference at DePaul Sept. 15. “Jody and Brenda have revealed
a facet of the sex trade that is largely ignored—the pimps who recruit girls into prostitution,” said Lynne Johnson,
advocacy director at the Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation. “If we want to end sex trafficking in our
community, we must hold accountable the pimps and the people who buy sex.” CAASE is the lead agency for the
End Demand Illinois campaign, which seeks to reform Illinois law to enforce increased penalties against pimps and
johns. Of the 25 pimps and madams interviewed, 68 percent had themselves been prostituted prior to pimping.
Their average age of entry into prostitution was 15, and 60 percent had family members who were involved in
prostitution. DePaul’s Schiller DuCanto & Fleck Family Law Center is a collaborating partner with the End
Demand Illinois campaign, which aims to transform Illinois’ response to the exploitation of prostitution and sex
trafficking by addressing its root cause: demand.The Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation is committed to
building a global community free from sexual exploitation. It is founded on the belief that all forms of sexual
exploitation – including sexual assault and the commercial sex trade – are detrimental to a healthy society and
undermine the dignity of all people.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children
announces new analysis: Children at greatest risk of
abduction when going to and from school or school-
related activities. August 18, 2010.
http://www.missingkids.com/missingkids/servlet/NewsE
ventServlet?LanguageCountry=en_US&PageId=4320
Excerpt: An estimated 800,000 children are reported
missing every year. That is 2,000 children every day or one
child every 40 seconds. NCMEC analyzed more than 4200
attempted abductions for the five year period from February
2005 and March 2010 and found that:
• 38% of attempted abductions occur while a child is
walking alone to or from school, riding the school bus or
riding a bicycle;
• 37% of attempted abductions occur between the hours of
2:00 PM through 7:00 PM on a weekday;
• 43% of attempted abductions involve children between
the ages of 10 and 14;
• 72% of attempted abduction victims are female;
• 68% of attempted abductions involve the suspect driving
a vehicle.
The five most common lures included offering a child a
ride, offering the child candy or sweets, showing the child
an animal or asking for help finding an animal, offering the
child money and asking the child for directions. “A
common factor with children who escaped their would-be
abductors was that the child did something proactive instead
of being passive or polite: 31% yelled, kicked, pulled away
or attracted attention and 53% of the children walked or ran
away,” said Ernie Allen, President & CEO of NCMEC.
“We know that teaching children about safety works.

Excerpt: In defending Craigslist against charges
that it facilitates prostitution and casual sex and
undermines the news business, founder Craig
Newmark relies on an unwavering commitment to
free expression, free markets and an open Internet.
Is such an unwavering commitment to core
principles the essence of leadership, or is leadership
more about accommodating core principles to other
social needs and values?
