Abstract Details

2021, Master of Science in Criminal Justice, Youngstown State University, Department of Criminal Justice and Consumer Sciences.
Human trafficking is a global problem that takes many forms, making it difficult to identify. Published research has drawn a connection between children who suffer neglect by their caregivers and children who are trafficked. This thesis will present an exploratory body of research that examines the screening tools from 20 states across the country. A qualitative study was conducted on all the screening tools to determine what tools are being used for both trafficking victim identification as well as establishment of victimization history. This research will present the importance screenings tools serving a dual purpose, by including prior victimization and victim services in addition to trafficking identification. Using a well-rounded screening tool allows investigators to obtain a full history of victimization, as well as establishing services needed, while limiting the number of times the victim must relive their trauma.
