NISS Ingram Olkin Forum: Statistical Methods for Combatting Human Trafficking
Wednesday, March 15, 2023 *** FREE!
1 pm - 4 pm EST/US (Washington, DC) *** More Information & Registration!
Human trafficking is a crime, and those who engage in it seek to avoid discovery. Therefore, it is difficult to estimate its prevalence. That difficulty is compounded by the fact that sex trafficking is different from labor trafficking, each operative under a distinct business model. This webinar has expert speakers who will describe statistical approaches for estimating prevalence, especially multiple systems estimation, respondent-driven sampling, and economic modeling. The pros and cons of these methods will be discussed.
