Child abuse/neglect

The goal of this program is to increase the technological investigative capacity and associated training of law enforcement, prosecutors, and other professionals nationwide to combat child sexual abuse material and online child sexual exploitation, including cases of child sex trafficking.

This program will support and strengthen four regional children’s advocacy centers that will deliver coordinated training and technical assistance within and across the regions to members of multidisciplinary teams, programs, and organizations to improve the investigation and prosecution of child abuse and neglect and the provision of children’s advocacy center services to child victims and their families.

This program will fund a national training and technical assistance program for attorneys who are involved in the criminal prosecution of child abuse to enhance the effectiveness of the investigation and prosecution of such crimes.
