Needs Assessment of Trafficking Service Providers and Victims

As the crime of human trafficking increases in prevalence, magnitude, and scope, trafficking victims who apply for TANF may emerge as a new Hard to Serve/Multi Barrier population for TANF administrators. This study offers a critical resource by assessing the needs of domestic service providers who are working with trafficking victims. Conducted for the National Institute of Justice, U.S. Department of Justice, the research team, led by Dr. Heather J. Clawson, completed a national sample of 98 interviews with domestic service providers.
