This session will present the findings from a national study, specifically the prevalence, characteristics, and challenges of domestic minor familial sex trafficking across the justice process. The data was derived from a national survey and in-depth interviews of justice professionals representing 3,505 cases of sex trafficking during the period of 2018-2021. Major findings call for training of frontline professionals and modified tools to improve victim identification, a better understanding of the unique dynamics between the child victim and related perpetrator that can corrupt the justice process and challenge our assumptions about the efficacy of family reunification.

PRESENTER: Jeanne Allert, Ph.D, Founder and Executive Director, Institute for Shelter Care
