Join the National Institute of Justice’s Forensic Technology Center of Excellence for the webinar “Advancing Research Initiatives and Combatting the Human Trafficking Epidemic” on Thursday, November 1 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. ET. The webinar will cover recommendations that focus on victim-centered research initiatives, policy development, and investigative processes, programs, and activities. Additionally, the webinar will highlight key players involved in research or program activities related to anti-human trafficking.
Many activities that combat human trafficking can take advantage of forensic-based tools and methods. Beneficial forensic science methods include applications of forensic DNA analysis, biometric measurement and analysis systems, and digital forensics and investigations. Researchers from the fields of social and natural sciences, criminal justice, legal, health care, and operation research and data analysis can use forensic-based tools to address challenges associated with combatting the human trafficking epidemic. During this webinar, participants will learn to:
- Evaluate current biometric and forensic DNA methods and tools and understand how to integrate those methods and tools into investigations of human trafficking;
- Analyze identified or potential issues associated with the complex aspects of the human trafficking epidemic, create new areas of research, and engage in ongoing research initiatives to help solve some of the issues; and
- Apply victim-centered approaches in anti-human trafficking research efforts or other activities that involve research, investigation, victim care, awareness, prosecution, or policy development.
