Selected Annotated Bibliography on Youth and Gang Violence Prevention, Community Team Organizing and Training, and Cultural Awareness Curricula
"This document has been prepared as a resource for youth-serving organizations and individuals, researchers, and policymakers concerned with youth issues. In their efforts to deal proactively with youth violence, gangs, and drug involvement-and to address the opportunities and challenges of collaborating with diverse communities to enhance youth development-many hard-working groups and individuals find that they lack the time to stay current on important literature in their fields. This annotated bibliography deals with this dilemma by providing brief summaries of materials ranging from reports and monographs to curricula, training manuals, articles, and other literature and products. The topics covered in this bibliography reflect the wide array of issues facing youthserving groups and professionals. The original impetus for the creation of this document was a set of expert meetings held in the spring and summer of 1993 to develop a guide to building and training community-based violence prevention teams. Participants in those meetings suggested that a multi-topic, annotated bibliography would meet the diverse informational needs of a broad spectrum of concerned parties."

Bought and Sold: Helping Young People Escape from Commercial Sexual Exploitation
This document concerns the commercial sexual exploitation of young people in the United States. Sections of the document include: (1) Some Youth Are More at Risk; (2) No One Chooses to Be Exploited; (3) Signs of Sexual Exploitation; (4) What Victims of Sexual Exploitation Need; (5) When to Involve Police; and (6) When to Tell the Youth's Family Members. "Prostitution. Pornography. Survival sex. Commercial sexual exploitation is more than just young people being sexually abused by adults. Perpetrators victimize young people by paying, or promising to pay, money, goods or services to a youth--or a pimp--in exchange for sexual acts or entertainment. The impact of commercial sexual exploitation on young victims is often devastating. Instead of attending school, they face violence, disease and jail. Before they are even old enough to vote, they lose their dignity and their freedom. They suffer emotional trauma that may never go away. Helping young people escape from exploitation should be a top priority of communities and youth workers everywhere."

In the following pages, you will have the opportunity to answer questions or complete worksheets. Various templates are also included in the appendices to add to your own disaster preparedness binder. […] All the preparation in the world will not matter if you do not also plan out the specific course of action you will take when a disaster strikes.
