Capstone Project: Identification and Prevention of Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking with Vulnerable Youth in the Juvenile Justice System: The Prevention work in DMST is small, and there are many factors associated with the lack of prevention schools do not believe it is happening in their neighborhoods, and parents do not believe that their children are exposed to this form of trafficking. Community providers need training more available, and law enforcement needs to become less overwhelmed with AWOLS or any runaway reports. There needs to be more educational training on DMST in our agencies, to improve to lack of tools to identify youth at risk. This informative training will impact our youth to prevent DMST in our communities in the future.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
