Sheriff perceptions of juvenile trafficking and juvenile trafficking services

Abstract

The trafficking of juveniles has been increasing in the United States; yet, research suggests that policies and services to address juvenile trafficking are lacking. Sheriffs are uniquely positioned to help address the crime of trafficking, so their training and access to services are important. In addition, while the perceptions of those implementing policy is essential for policy integrity, little is known about sheriff perceptions of juvenile trafficking and how these relate to agency policy. Electronic surveys about juvenile trafficking were completed by 81 sheriffs in 9 states. Results indicated that sheriff perceptions of juvenile trafficking were not uniform and the perceptions had complex relationships with screening policies. In addition, relatively few officers had received trafficking training and most reported services for juvenile trafficking victims were inadequate. Implications and future research are discussed.
