Topics of Interest
JuST conferences feature a wide range of critical topics relating to juvenile sex trafficking.

We will review and consider all topics submitted but we are particularly interested in applications featuring:
- Prevention and interdiction of familial sex trafficking
- Statewide collaboration models
- Development and implementation of non-criminal responses to child sex trafficking victims
- Intersection of DMST and ICSE (Images of Child Sexual Exploitation)

While these are topics of interest, they are not the only content we hope to host at the JuST Conference. We encourage presenters to submit topics not listed above, too. Preference will be given to Advanced workshop topics.
