Introducing the Focus-S: A Screening Instrument to Identify Youth at Risk for Commercial Sexual Exploitation
Risk Factors for Domestic Child Sex Trafficking in the United States
Despite increased effort to respond to human trafficking at national and state levels, very little empirical research has been conducted on domestic child sex trafficking. This study retrospectively examines associations between multiple risk factors and domestic child sex trafficking (i.e., entry into the commercial sex industry under the age of 18) in a sample of individuals aged 16 and older currently involved in the commercial sex industry ( …
Mothers’ spirituality and religion in the criminal justice system
The number of mothers in the criminal justice system (CJS) increased over 700% in the past 25 years. Little is known about these mothers’ spirituality and religion. Our review of quantitative (n = 1,170) and qualitative (n = 87) data from mothers’ experiences and concluded that while spiritual wellness was important to most, the participants had varied spiritual views and practices. The authors provide suggestions for counseling to improve spirit…
An Ecological Analysis of Risk Factors for Runaway Behavior among Individuals Exposed to Commercial Sexual Exploitation
Offenders Who Are Mothers with and without Experience in Prostitution: Differences in Historical Trauma, Current Stressors, and Physical and Mental Health Differences
Exiting Prostitution: An Integrated Model
Exiting street-level prostitution is a complex, convoluted process. Few studies have described this process within any formal conceptual framework. This article reviews two general models and two prostitution-specific models and their applicability to the exiting process. Barriers encountered as women attempt to leave the streets are identified. Based on the four models, the barriers, the prostitution literature, and the authors' experience with …
Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking: A Network of Underground Players in the Midwest
Police-Prostitute Interactions: Sometimes Discretion, Sometimes Misconduct
Laws related to vice are laws in which police officers are given a considerable amount of discretion. Because of police authority and frequent contact with marginalized women involved in prostitution, opportunities to engage in inappropriate behavior are ever present. Data collected from three studies on women in prostitution, from 1998 to 2004, are the focus for this article. Analysis of the data revealed that officers, while involved in duties …
Legalized Gambling and Crime in Canada
In the 10 provinces and 2 territories of Canada in 2000, but not in 1990, the total number of types of gambling activities was positively associated with rates of robbery (p<.05). Controls for other social variables did not eliminate these associations. With so many correlations in the present study the likelihood of a Type I error was quite large. Alpha was adjusted to control that likelihood. Statistical analysis now required even stronger evid…
Pimp-Controlled Prostitution: Still an Integral Part of Street Life
Street-level prostitution is comprised of both pimp-controlled prostitution and independent entrepreneurial prostitution. Although much of the more recent research has focused on the latter group, this work reports on a qualitative study designed to understand pimp-related violence to women involved in pimp-controlled prostitution. In addition, this work contributes to the understandingof the relationships between pimps and pros titutes, the role…
Differences in Lost Letter Responses from a Seaside City
Of 75 letters "lost" in the Florida Panhandle, 33 (44%) were returned in the mail by the finders (the altruistic response). Addressees' affiliations were significantly associated with different rates of return; fewer emotive Intercontinental Gay and Lesbian Outdoors Organization addressees were returned than nonemotive ones. The technique for power analysis by Gillett (1996) was applied to data from an earlier study and indicated our sample of 75…
Abortion Affiliation, Urban Size, and Geographic Bias of Responses to Lost Letters
A study using 1800 "lost letters" was designed to test the hypothesis that returned responses would be greater in smaller rural communities (population M = 964) than in a city (population = 60,591) or the suburbs (population = 195,847) unless the addressee was affiliated with a pro-abortion group. Returns to control, Committee For Free Abortion, and Committee Against Free Abortion affiliates were 37.2%, 24.0%, 29.3%, respectively. From the city, …
