All rights reserved. Confronting Commercial Sexual Exploitation and Sex Trafficking of Minors in the United States The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Acad- emy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the National Academy of Sciences. The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding en- gineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineer- ing programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. C. D. Mote, Jr., is presi- dent of the National Academy of Engineering. The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Insti- tute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine. The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sci- ences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Coun- cil is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone and Dr. C. D. Mote, Jr., are chair and vice chair, respectively, of the National Research Council. www.national-academies.org Copyright © National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved.

  • The Market Impacts of Sharing Economy Entrants: Evidence from USA and China
    Electronic Commerce Research https://doi.org/10.1007/s10660-018-09328-1 The market impacts of sharing economy entrants: evidence from USA and China Yue Guo1,2 · Fu Xin1 · Xiaotong Li3 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract This paper studies the link between the difusion of the sharing economy and tra- ditional mature industries by empirically examining the economic impacts of shar- ing economy entrants. This study adds to the ongoing debate over whether and how ride-hailing platforms infuence new car sales in USA and China. Our results sug- gest that the short-term impact of Didi Chuxing’s entry on new car sales is positive. Unlike the efect of Didi Chuxing on new car sales in China, Uber’s entry nega- tively infuences new car sales in USA. The entry of Didi Chuxing is related to a 9.24% increase in new car sales in China and the entry of Uber is related to an 8.1% decrease in new car sales in USA. We further empirically confrm that the impact of ride-hailing companies is trivial in small cities. Keywords Collaborative consumption models · Uber · Didi · Ride-hailing services · Sharing economy · Two-sided platforms 1 Introduction Over the last few years, the rapid proliferation of smartphones and the associated applications have fueled rapid growth of the online sharing economy, such as those of Uber, Airbnb, Lyft, Turo, and Peerby.

  • Case Records As Sources for Social History
    Case Records as Sources for Social History by G.J. PARR A decade ago the first studies of geographic and social mobility based on manuscript census returns, city directories and parish records were accorded a richly deserved welcome as the "new social history." Reviewers suggested that this quantitative work would lend healthy depth and precision to more traditionally-based inquiries into the daily life of the labouring and unlettered in the nineteenth century. ' In many ways the new history has fulfilled this prorni~e.~Our understanding of the ethnic, demographic and occupational complexion of rural and increasingly urban communities on both sides of the Atlantic has been substantially enriched. Yet this new quantitative precision has not been so successfully married with depth as had been hoped. Recent work employing more traditional mlthodology has often succeeded better in illuminating the texture of life among the "submerged" four-tenths of the last ~entury.~ With the admirable eclecticism which distinguishes the profession, historians have reached across their worktables stacked high with Among the most enduring of these earlier works are: E.P. Thompson, The Making of the English Working Class (London: V. Gollancz, 1963); Eric Hobsbawm, Lgbouring Men (London: Weidenfield and Nicolson, 1964) and Primitive Rebels (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 1959); Oscar Handlin, The Uprooted (Boston: Little, Brown, 1951); Caroline Ware, The Early New England Cotton Manufacture (New York: Houghton Mifflin, 193 1). See, for example, D.V. Glass and D.E.C.

  • Mark Zuckerberg, CEO May 22, 2017 Sheryl Sandberg, COO Facebook 1 Hacker Way Menlo Park, CA 94025
    Mark Zuckerberg, CEO May 22, 2017 Sheryl Sandberg, COO Facebook 1 Hacker Way Menlo Park, CA 94025 Dear Mr. Zuckerberg and Ms. Sandberg: I am writing on behalf of Consumer Watchdog to ask that Facebook take immediate steps to halt child sex-trafficking via the Internet and immediately support necessary amendments to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act that would allow such cynical businesses as Backpage.com to be held accountable for actively aiding and abetting child sex trafficking. By one count 73% of child trafficking reports in the United States involve Backpage.com. Backpage hides behind the cloak of Sec. 230 while too many in the tech industry blindly and reflexively claim that needed amendments would undermine Internet freedom. Do not fall victim to this spurious claim. Action on your part now would be particularly timely; Congress has designated this week as “Combatting Trafficking and Child Protection Week” and expects to focus on the issue. Rep. Anne Wagner, R-Mo., has introduced H.R. 1865, the “Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017.” It could well be the vehicle that would finally allow Backpage to be held accountable. Just last week Consumer Watchdog, DeliverFund, Faith and Freedom Coalition, The Rebecca Project for Justice, Trafficking in America Taskforce and Nacole S., a sex-trafficking victim’s mother, released a comprehensive report detailing Backpage’s wrongful activities and how Google has spent millions to fund efforts to thwart any changes in Section 230. (http://www.consumerwatchdog.org/resources/backpagereport.pdf) As detailed in the report, primary recipients of Google’s largess are two nonprofit organizations, The Center for Digital Democracy (CDT) and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
