OJJDP FY 2007 Project Safe Childhood Programs: The Project Safe Childhood (PSC) initiative combats the proliferation of technology-facilitated sexual exploitation crimes against children. According to the 2005 Youth Internet Safety Survey conducted by the Crimes against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire, 19 percent of youth were approached with unwanted sexual solicitations while online. The same survey showed that a third of youth using the Internet were exposed to unwanted sexual material. The dangers presented by sexual predators soliciting children over the Internet and the production, possession, and electronic distribution of child pornography demand a coordinated response. PSC facilitates collaboration among U.S. Attorneys, Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces, and other national and community groups to investigate, prosecute, and prevent technology-facilitated criminal behavior and to protect and assist victimized children and youth. This solicitation seeks applicants to promote and support PSC by submitting proposals to OJJDP under either Part A or Part B. Part A requests proposals for collaboration with OJJDP to develop community awareness and public education programs which can be delivered to national audiences and to specific target populations. Part B requests proposals to develop and deliver Internet safety training and education in discrete communities.
