The National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ) hosted five National Judicial Institutes on Domestic Child Sex Trafficking (NJIDCST) between 2014 and 2017 for judges and other judicial officers. The purpose of the DCST Institutes was to provide judicial officers with tools needed to develop or enhance their ability to handle the multifaceted and challenging aspects of cases involving child sex trafficking. A follow-up survey was sent to the 140 participants of the five Institutes, of which 34 participants responded. The report summarizes their responses regarding the application of knowledge gained during the Institutes.
