Eighth Annual Panel Discussion for Human Trafficking Prevention Month

Thanks to everyone who came out to our Policing Human Trafficking: Developments and Challenges panel discussion! We co-sponsored the event with the Legal Aid Society of Metropolitan Family Services Office in Decatur. We had a great mix of community members, faculty, and students and a very interesting discussion. I learned a lot about different victim centered approaches to policing and they even discussed the reasons for adjudicating lower offenses on the lower level which aligns with our current research project. 

One of my favorite things about hosting this event every year during Human Trafficking Prevention Month is getting to see all the colleagues in the anti-trafficking movement and also many former students who worked in the Human Trafficking Research Lab (and then making them pose for a photo with me).

One of my research assistants was also interviewed on WAND about the panel discussion and you can access the interview here.
