Research output: Contribution to conferencePresentation

Abstract

A descriptive typology of child sex trafficker profiles emerged from file reviews of 61 cases of child sex trafficking collected in Florida between 2007 and 2012. Profiles include: Romantic Coercive Conman, Family Abuser, Gang Intimidator, and Mate Crime Predator. Features of psychopathy are apparent in all trafficker types. Identifying and understanding common trafficker profiles and methods of operation inform child sex trafficking prevention and intervention recommendations.
