  • Project Description

    This study will increase the body of knowledge on forced criminalization through the development of a brief screening tool for forced criminality, investigations of vacatur records, and interviews to better understand forced criminality and the existing barriers to identifying and supporting victims who experience it. Interviews will be held with trafficking survivors as well as criminal justice and service provider stakeholders to get a more holistic view of the situation from multiple perspectives. Both the screening tool and information gathered through the course of victim and stakeholder interviews will be useful for the development of targeted tools and resources that can be used to improve identification and support efforts for trafficking victims in the future.
