Professor Amy Farrell was a featured speaker at the 2019 Beyond Discourse Conference “Critical and Empirical Approaches to Human Trafficking.” Farrell’s research seeks to understand how the criminal justice system responds to newly recognized and prioritized crimes such as hate crimes and human trafficking, which ties in strongly with the conference’s theme.
Hosted by the Institute for Policy & Social Research (IPSR) at the University of Kansas, the conference brought together approximately 220 participants. Members of the medical, justice, National Guard, and law enforcement services were in attendance.
