There has been an increased awareness and focus on human trafficking within the United States in recent years, with individuals convicted of sex trafficking crimes often being classified as “sexual offenders” within the criminal justice system. However, very little is known about the psychological characteristics or criminogenic risk/need factors of this offender population. This session will provide introductory training on domestic and international human trafficking, with a focus on sex trafficking of adults and children, followed by an overview on the current research related to perpetrators of domestic sex trafficking in the United States. The session will also provide practical guidance and strategies for the assessment, treatment, management and supervision of perpetrators of domestic sex trafficking and victims of trafficking.
Topics to be covered include:
1) Overview of human trafficking
2) Intersection of human trafficking and other sexual offending with implications for professionals
3) What we know and don’t know
4) Psychopathy and related typologies
5) Effective practice (with case examples)
6) Evidence-informed and individualized approaches
7) Case examples and Q&A
As a result of this training, participants will be able to:
1) List and describe two major types of trafficking.
2) Describe common risk factors trafficking victims possess.
3) Discuss the implications of trafficking on sexual offense specific assessment and treatment.
4) Identify the psychological characteristics and criminogenic risk/need factors for perpetrators of domestic sex trafficking.
5) Implement strategies for the appropriate assessment, treatment and management of perpetrators of domestic sex trafficking.
6) Describe the federal definition of human trafficking and implications for professionals.
