Child Welfare Professionals Serving Child Sex Trafficking Victims
Prevention of trafficking is legislated and funded through federal law, with victim services for child sex trafficking assigned to local departments of social services. Among child welfare workers, research has documented mislabeling, misidentification, misunderstanding of policy, and improper care for youth involved in sex trafficking, and pointed to a need for training of professionals. A survey of five years of classes of child welfare workers…
Acculturative stress and psychological distress during Covid-19, among racial-ethnic minority immigrants in the US
Guided by Berry's conceptualization of acculturative stress and Hovey's acculturative stress framework, this cross-sectional study examines the relationship between migratory acculturative stress and psychological distress among racial-ethnic minority US immigrants (n = 202). The multiple linear regression indicated that respondents reported moderate psychological distress, acculturative stress, social support, and COVID impact. Pre-migration and…
Utilising the Adapt-ITT Method to Adapt an Evidence-based Intervention Addressing HIV, Trauma and Mental Health Risks among Female Fish Traders in Zambia
HIV interventions that attend to mental health problems among vulnerable populations in sub-Saharan Africa have become a priority. This is especially so among mobile populations, such as female fish traders in Zambia, who are at increased risk of trauma, subsequent adverse mental health risks including post-traumatic stress and HIV risk or transmission risk behaviours. To date, there have been no known integrated HIV and mental health interventio…
The ethics of algorithms
Research on the ethics of algorithms has grown substantially over the past decade. Alongside the exponential development and application of machine learning algorithms, new ethical problems and solutions relating to their ubiquitous use in society have been proposed. This article builds on a review of the ethics of algorithms published in 2016 (Mittelstadt et al. Big Data Soc 3(2), 2016). The goals are to contribute to the debate on the identific…
The Norms of Algorithmic Credit Scoring
This article examines the growth of algorithmic credit scoring and its implications for the regulation of consumer credit markets in the UK. It constructs a frame of analysis for the regulation of algorithmic credit scoring, bound by the core norms underpinning UK consumer credit and data protection regulation: allocative efficiency, distributional fairness and consumer privacy (as autonomy). Examining the normative trade-offs that arise within t…
The ethical debate about the gig economy
What if Facebook goes down? Ethical and legal considerations for the demise of big tech
Society is becoming increasingly dependent on data-rich, "Big Tech" platforms and social networks, such as Facebook and Google. But what happens to our data when these companies close or fail? Despite the high stakes involved, this topic has received only limited attention to date. In this article, we use the hypothetical failure of Facebook as a case study to analyse legal and ethical risks related to the closure of data-rich, Big Tech platforms…
Introduction to the Special Issue on Intercultural Digital Ethics
Recent advances in the capability of digital information technologies—particularly due to advances in artificial intelligence (AI)—have invigorated the debate on the ethical issues surrounding their use. However, this debate has often been dominated by ‘Western’ ethical perspectives, values and interests, to the exclusion of broader ethical and socio-cultural perspectives. This imbalance carries the risk that digital technologies produce ethical …
The political economy of robots
This edited volume examines the implications of increasingly ‘autonomous’ information technologies for human prosperity and security. The chapters can be divided into three sets. The first set (pp. 17–127) considers the practical implications of increasingly autonomous technology for human security and prosperity in specific domains, such as global trade, drug enforcement and healthcare. The second set (pp. 127–235) focuses on autonomous artifici…
