Human Trafficking Research Gap Analysis

• In Event: Roundtable: Pressing Research Questions in Human Trafficking for 2025: Identifying the Gaps

Abstract

NIJ will present the results of a human trafficking research gap analysis based on a review of the literature, past NIJ investments, and previous consultations with the field. NIJ invites comment and discussion on the gap analysis from interested researchers, practitioners, and survivors to help prioritize research needs and identify key research lines that may be missing as we plan future initiatives.
