A Community-Based Transdisciplinary Vision for the Future of Human Trafficking Research
We present a 10-year vision for human trafficking research developed through a two-day workshop with 30 human trafficking experts from within and outside of academia. Led by the Human-centered Action Research to Disrupt Human Trafficking (HART) team, the workshop brought together researchers from diverse disciplines (social science, computational science, public policy, and healthcare) alongside lived experience experts, service providers, policy…
A Framework to Develop Interventions to Address Labor Exploitation and Trafficking
This paper describes a process that integrates behavioral and decision science methods to design and evaluate interventions to disrupt illicit behaviors. We developed this process by extending a framework used to study systems with uncertain outcomes, where only partial information is observable, and wherein there are multiple participating parties with competing goals. The extended framework that we propose builds from artefactual data collectio…
Wage Theft and Work Safety
Immigrant day laborers routinely experience exploitative behaviors as part of their employment. These day laborers perceive the exploitation they experience in the context of their immigration histories and in the context of their long-term goals for better working and living conditions. Using mixed methods, over three data collection periods in 2016, 2019 and 2020, we analyze the work experiences of immigrant day laborers in Houston and Austin, …
Climate Surveys
Sexual assault, dating/domestic violence, sexual harassment, and stalking are complex crimes and have been a major focus of national attention at institutions of higher education (IHEs). To grasp the extent and nature of these crimes on campuses, institutionally specific climate surveys are being developed and endorsed by the federal government and conducted at IHEs. These climate surveys differ in content and length. This article describes 10 di…
Responding to Domestic Minors Sex Trafficking (DMST)
Over the last decade, modern slavery has emerged as a major social-justice issue. Many new organizations in the United States have begun serving survivors of domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST), while others have expanded their services to include this vulnerable population in their mission. This qualitative study describes the principle-based practices that emerged from structured interviews with staff employed at five well-established organiz…
