Evaluating Sex Trafficking Victim's Lifespan - Paperback

by Elmer S. Putnam (Author)

This research is an original approach that applies industrial engineering and operations research tools to the sociological problem of sex trafficking victimization. Such an approach enables quantitative evaluation of the impacts on an individual's lifetime by anti-trafficking efforts and public policies. A fully interconnected, lifetime model for the experience of sex trafficking victimization is defined as the result of a comprehensive review of literature. Beginning with victimization risk, the defined model is an anticipatory tool to understand the incidences and consequences to

individuals during their lifetime.
