Meredith Dank Releases Labor Trafficking Study

Director of Human Exploitation and Resilience, Meredith Dank, along with RTI’s Rebecca Pfeffer and Kelle Lyn Barrick, has shared her National Institute of Justice-funded study, “Understanding What Works in the Successful Identification, Investigation, and Prosecution of Labor Trafficking Cases in the United States, 2021–2022,” through the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research:

[The] objective of this study was to identify promising practices in labor trafficking identification and response in five US counties that have demonstrated innovation and commitment to addressing the problem of labor trafficking. Innovative strategies included dedicated labor trafficking investigators, specialized units within county district attorneys' offices, and a statewide multidisciplinary team approach that incorporates efforts to identify and respond to labor trafficking.
