{"product_id":"2940013140684","title":"Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children in America","description":"The release of the First Report from the National Incidence\u003cbr\u003eStudies, Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children in\u003cbr\u003eAmerica, marks the beginning of a new era of better understanding of\u003cbr\u003ethe extent and nature of these problems. For nearly a decade, the\u003cbr\u003elack of accurate information on missing children in America has\u003cbr\u003ehampered the development of policies and allocation of resources.\u003cbr\u003eThe Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention\u003cbr\u003esponsored this seminal study of missing children by the University\u003cbr\u003eof New Hampshire in response to a congressional mandate of the\u003cbr\u003eMissing Children's Act. Through this and other research, the office\u003cbr\u003ehas come to recognize that the problem of missing children is not\u003cbr\u003esingular, nor is it wholly separated from the problems of delinquency\u003cbr\u003ewith which the Office also deals. As is true of the latter, the\u003cbr\u003eincidence of missing children is composed of different social\u003cbr\u003eproblems greatly stemming from the weakening of the American family.\u003cbr\u003eEffectively preventing and dealing with the multifaceted\u003cbr\u003eproblems of missing children requires accurate, reliable information.\u003cbr\u003eTherefore, the incidence studies focused on identifying risk factors,\u003cbr\u003eon the children's experiences, and on the responses of parents and\u003cbr\u003epolice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe release of these first findings culminates a 5-year effort.\u003cbr\u003eWhile these studies were carefully designed to answer as many\u003cbr\u003equestions as possible, we also recognize that the results may raise\u003cbr\u003enew questions for which answers will be needed. The office of\u003cbr\u003eJuvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention is continuing to sponsor\u003cbr\u003eresearch to find the facts and to develop useful programs that will\u003cbr\u003eprotect children and reduce delinquency.","brand":"1001 Property Solutions LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069827662064,"sku":"2940013140684","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013140684_p0.jpg?v=1763577119","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013140684","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
