  • Innovative Methods for Estimating the Prevalence of Labor Trafficking

    Open AccessKyle Vincent, Stephen Tueller et al.ARTICLECrime & Delinquency2025

    The authors tested an experimental methodology based on time-location and network sampling designs to assess their utility in studying labor trafficking victimization among the construction worker population in the city of Houston, USA. The time-location design commenced with a selection of registered sites followed by a search within proximity to find additional sites. We seeded the network sampling design with these respondents and day laborers…

  • An Empirical Comparison of a Traditional Strategy and Network Scale-Up Method for Prevalence Estimation of Child Trafficking in Sierra Leone

    Open AccessHui Yi, Kyle Vincent et al.ARTICLECrime & Delinquency2025

    The goal of this paper is to compare a traditional survey method with the network scale-up method (NSUM) for the prevalence estimation of child trafficking in Sierra Leone in 2020. The traditional survey method involved a probability-based, stratified, and clustered multistage sampling design in which adult respondents in 3,070 households were interviewed about trafficking of children who reside in their household in three selected districts. Thi…

  • Estimating Young Women Working in Kathmandu’s Adult Entertainment Sector

    Kyle Vincent, Meredith Dank et al.ARTICLEJournal of Human Trafficking2024

    This study estimates the prevalence of young women, defined as women aged 17 and younger, working in Kathmandu Valley’s adult entertainment sector. A hybrid strategy based on respondent-driven sampling and venue-based studies, giving rise to a mark-recapture estimation strategy, was applied. A sample of 600 female workers were reached through respondent driven sampling, and a sub-sampled set of female workers surveyed within the sampled venues. T…

  • Does Anyone Care? -The Prevalence of Forced Labor Among Kenyan Migrant Workers and the Glaring Need for Better Labor Conditions in GCC Countries

    Sheldon X Zhang, Nell Compernolle et al.ARTICLEJournal of Human Trafficking2024Referências: 10

    Much media coverage in recent years has identified the abuses of migrant workers in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries (e.g. Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, United Arab Emirates [UAE], and Saudi Arabia), an increasingly popular migrant destination for Kenyan workers. Due to their unique geo-political and economic profiles, these countries with widespread human rights violations have remained non-responsive primarily to pressure from the i…

  • Common Methodological Challenges Encountered With Multiple Systems Estimation Studies

    Open AccessKyle Vincent, Serveh Sharifi Far et al.ARTICLECrime & Delinquency2023

    Multiple systems estimation refers to a class of inference procedures that are commonly used to estimate the size of hidden populations based on administrative lists. In this paper we discuss some of the common challenges encountered in such studies. In particular, we summarize theoretical issues relating to the existence of maximum likelihood estimators, model identifiability, and parameter redundancy when there is sparse overlap among the lists…

  • Jobs for Justice

    Vanessa Bouché, Sara Woldehanna et al.ARTICLEJournal of Human Trafficking2023

    Financial wellbeing – broadly characterized as a liveable income, savings, and autonomy over financial decisions – has been shown to influence physical and psychological health and is therefore an important element of holistic wellbeing. The present study examines the factors that impact the financial wellbeing of survivors of human trafficking in the United States. Using survey data from a sample of trafficking survivors in the U.S. we find that…

  • How Ideas from Ecological Capture-Recapture Models May Inform Multiple Systems Estimation Analyses

    Open AccessHannah Worthington, Rachel McCrea et al.ARTICLECrime & Delinquency2021

    Abundance estimation, for both human and animal populations, informs policy decisions and population management. Capture-recapture and multiple sources data share a common structure; the population can be partially enumerated and individuals are identifiable. Consequently, the analytical methods were developed simultaneously. However, whilst ecological models have been developed to describe highly complex, biologically realistic scenarios, for ex…

  • A study of public establishment-based and private network commercial sexual exploitation in Kolkata and Mumbai, India

    Andee Cooper Parks, Kyle Vincent et al.ARTICLEJournal of Human Trafficking2019Citada por: 1Referências: 21

    This article details the methodologies and results from studies on the commercial exploitation of children in known sex trade areas of Kolkata and Mumbai, India. The results include the number and attributes of sex workers and minors observed in public establishments and within a more private network. The study among public establishments entails the use of a conventional sampling design and sample calibration-based inference strategy for analyse…

  • The Prevalence of Bonded Labor in Three Districts of Karnataka State, India

    Andee Cooper Parks, Sheldon X Zhang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Human Trafficking2019Referências: 3

    This paper presents the results of a prevalence study of bonded labor in three districts of Karnataka State, India. Using a unique application of mark-recapture analysis, enumerators surveyed 4,306 laborers in marketplaces from April to June 2015, capturing data on 15 distinct industries across 3,765 worksites. Based on these surveys, an estimated 33.4% of the laborers interviewed were bonded and 30.5% were suspected to have been trafficked to th…
