Echoing “details needed” on the method of measuring “commercial sexual violence against poor kids.” Some agencies have reduced reported crimes by reducing reports rather than crimes or otherwise changing the map rather than the territory.
Assuming that question away, related measurement question: do efforts that reduce commercial sexual violence against poor kids generalize well to reducing other crimes, and would we expect these results to replicate and generalize in other communities? Pilot programs (that we hear about; publication bias) are often the best case scenario for program effectiveness, rather than results we can expect elsewhere.
