Human trafficking can’t be studied with a one-size-fits-all approach. The crime affects people in different ways, depending on where they live and what type of exploitation they’re experiencing. Researchers need methodological options, and they need to know which ones are most effective in various global contexts.
An initiative by the University of Georgia’s Center on Human Trafficking Research and Outreach (CenHTRO) called the Prevalence Reduction Innovation Forum (PRIF) works to solve this problem by creating potent survey methods to aid in the fight against human trafficking.
