But the research has been great! In June, I met with Kentucky stakeholders as they attended the Court Improvement Conference, where the focus this year was human trafficking. The meetings were very fruitful for Kentucky, where the group determined that a primary focus in the coming year should be developing a universal screening and assessment tool for child trafficking.
Another June conference in Kentucky - the Behavior Institute - also included a presentation on youth in juvenile detention who had experiences with human trafficking and sexual exploitation. This researcher uncovered some interesting gender dynamics with human trafficking, which I will focus subsequent posts on. I will also shift towards focusing on policy recommendations and conclusions from my research.
