Victims of trafficking remain undetected and are involved in a range of criminal activities they are coerced into by traffickers, and these crimes can lead to lengthy criminal records. Many factors contribute to increased vulnerability to human trafficking, including sociodemographic factors, environmental factors such as involvement with criminal justice systems and health factors. Corrections professionals serve as first responders who may encounter trafficked individuals and can also help with anti-trafficking efforts to ensure this vulnerable population does not fall prey to trafficking activities during and after release from detention. Learning Objectives: • Participant will be able to understand the importance of screening and identification of trafficking victims. • Recognize indicators of human trafficking. • Review strategies to prevent human trafficking. • Outline treatment approaches to provide appropriate health care services.
