Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring,
Apprehending, Registering and Tracking (SMART) |
| "Our nation has made this commitment: Anyone who targets a child for harm will be a primary target of law enforcement. That's our commitment. Anyone who takes the life or innocence of a child will be punished to the full extent of the law."
President George W. Bush, October 23, 2002 |

| President Bush speaks on the protection of all children from those who would prey on their innocents. |

| Guided by the leadership of the Attorney General, Project Safe Childhood
(PSC) aims to combat the proliferation of technology-facilitated sexual
exploitation crimes against children. The threat of sexual predators
soliciting children for physical sexual contact is well-known and
serious; the danger of the production, distribution, and possession
of child pornography is equally dramatic and disturbing. The response
to these growing problems must be coordinated, comprehensive, and
robust. It must aim to investigate and prosecute vigorously, and protect
and assist victimized children. At the same time, it must recognize
the need for a broad, community-based effort to protect our children
and to guarantee to future generations the opportunities of the American
dream.
