SUMMARY:Advances in Human Trafficking Victim Identification
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will present findings from two forward-thinking human trafficking studies that focus on human trafficking victim identification. This webinar will be of keen interest to investigators\, victim services and health professionals\, administrators of escort ad web scraping tools and databases\, academics\, and anyone interested in more precise tools to support the process of identifying human trafficking victims. \nBoth projects have resulted in key insights that can be used to better identify individuals most at risk of human trafficking and we look forward to sharing them with you. \nIndicators of Sex Trafficking in Online Escort Ads  \nPresents results from a study exploring the use of escort ads in U.S. sex trafficking investigations. It tests whether many commonly-used indicators or “signs” of trafficking indeed indicate a higher likelihood that the individual being advertised is a trafficking victim versus an independent person advertising commercial sex. Its unique contribution is that it tests indicators being used in the field against a counterfactual (known case outcomes) in order to identify differences in the presence of various indicators between ads known to be part of a trafficking case and those known to be part of a case that involves consensual sex work\, but not trafficking. \nPresenters: \n\nKris Lugo-Graulich\nKaren Souza\nLindsay Bostwick\nBailey Maryfield \n\nJustice Research and Statistics Association \nHuman Trafficking Screening Tool for LGBTQAI Victims: Different Experiences\, Risks and Needs \n  \nRequirements for a trafficking victim identification tool for LGBTQAI (lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, questioning/ queer\, asexual\, or intersex) people are explored via a series of key informant interviews with public health providers. The authors argue that this community faces dangers where they are uniquely susceptible to labor and sex trafficking. Due to their high-risk status\, the LGBTQAI population require an effective\, specialized screening tool. This project is in the development phase\, and later we will validate this tool in public health settings. \nPresenters: \n\nAmber Horning and Heidi Collins Fantasia\, University of Massachusetts-Lowell\nSara Jordenö\, Rhode Island School of Design\n\n  \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Measuring Outcomes in Response to Victims of Crime
DESCRIPTION:Defining and designing the most useful and impactful measures for the outcomes of crime victim services is an essential step to assess the effectiveness and quality of those services for victims\, to justify funding allocations and demonstrate responsible stewardship of funds\, and to advocate for additional resources as necessary. Outcome measurement helps move the field from measuring level of effort in victim response (outputs) towards measuring the impacts of those efforts. Important considerations in outcome measure selection and design include identifying the key outcomes and impacts desired\, the preciseness and accuracy of the measures selected to capture those outcomes\, the on-the-ground practicality of collecting meaningful data for those measures without creating undue burden. This webinar will be useful for victim services professionals\, evaluators\, academics\, and funders alike. \nThis webinar will present three federally funded projects examining the development of appropriate outcome measures for victim response. The first two presentations will showcase conceptual modeling processes that were undertaken to define the ultimate goals of services and how provision of those services is intended to promote those goals. “What Constitutes Success? Evaluating Legal Services for Victims of Crime” is a project to measure outcomes related to law enforcement responses to domestic/dating violence\, sexual assault\, and stalking. “Measuring Success in the Criminal Justice System’s Response to VAWA Crimes: A Pilot Project” is related to legal services for victims of crime. “Developing a Self-Report Survey to Measure the Impact of Victim Services on Victims’ Lives” will encompass a compilation of existing work around logic models and outcome measures for victim responses representing a larger spectrum of victim services\, which will culminate in the development of a standardized methodology and set of instruments to measure outcomes for victims across all types of victim service providers. Presentations will be followed by time for Q&A and discussion. \nPresentations: \n\nWhat Constitutes Success?

SUMMARY:Cómo llevar a cabo sesiones de escucha con sobrevivientes de violencia de género / Conducting Listening Sessions with Survivors of Gender-based Violence
DESCRIPTION:El evento se ofrecerá en inglés con servicios de interpretación en español y en lenguaje de señas estadounidense con subtítulos ocultos. \nEl Centro Nacional de Recursos sobre Violencia Doméstica (NRCDV) se asoció con Gabriela López-Zerón\, PhD del Consorcio de Investigación sobre Violencia de Género (RCGV) de la Universidad Estatal de Michigan (MSU) para destacar su artículo\, Realización de sesiones de escucha con sobrevivientes de violencia de género. Las sesiones de escucha son una excelente técnica para capturar las opiniones y sugerencias de les participantes sobre un tema. Hay varios principios bien establecidos con respecto a cómo llevar a cabo sesiones de escucha efectivas; sin embargo\, cuando se trabaja con sobrevivientes de violencia de género\, es fundamental integrar una perspectiva informada sobre el trauma en todos los aspectos del proceso. En este seminario web de 60 minutos\, se ofrecerá a les participantes algunas consideraciones y pautas clave al realizar sesiones de escucha con sobrevivientes. \n_______________________________________________ \nThis event will be in English with Spanish and ASL interpretation. CC \nThe National Resource Center on Domestic Violence (NRCDV) partnered with Gabriela López-Zerón\, PhD from Michigan State University’s (MSU) Research Consortium on Gender-based Violence (RCGV) to highlight her paper\, Conducting Listening Sessions with Survivors of Gender-based Violence. Listening sessions are an excellent technique to capture participants’ views and suggestions about an issue. There are several well-established principles regarding how to conduct effective listening sessions; however\, when working with survivors of gender-based violence\, it is critical to integrate a trauma-informed perspective to every aspect of the process. In this 60-minute webinar\, participants will be offered some key considerations and guidelines when conducting listening sessions with survivors. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Analyzing Data from the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS)
DESCRIPTION:The Bureau of Justice Statistics’ (BJS) National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) is the nation’s primary source of information on criminal victimization. Each year\, data are obtained from a nationally representative sample of about 150\,000 household interviews\, composed of nearly 240\,000 interviews of persons within those households\, on the frequency\, characteristics\, and consequences of criminal victimization in the United States. The NCVS is a rich source of data on the nature of and victim response to crimes reported and not reported to police. The data files include about 1\,000 variables on the characteristics of victims and incidents of violent crime (defined as rape or sexual assault\, robbery\, aggravated assault\, and simple assault) and property crime (which includes burglary/trespassing\, motor vehicle theft\, and other theft). \nThis workshop will introduce potential data users to the types of information available through the NCVS\, offer an overview of the survey structure and sample design\, and provide hands-on training to assist in properly analyzing the NCVS public-use data. Using SPSS\, workshop participants will learn how to replicate key estimates published through the annual Criminal Victimization bulletin and available through data tools on https://bjs.ojp.gov. \nLive captioning will be available. \nREGISTER\nPanelists:\nHeather Brotsos\, Chief\, Victimization Statistics\, BJS \nErika Harrell\, PhD\, Statistician\, BJS \nGrace Kena\, Statistician\, BJS \nRachel Morgan\, PhD\, Statistician\, BJS \nSusannah Tapp\, PhD\, Statistician\, BJS \nAlexandra Thompson\, Statistician\, BJS \nJennifer Truman\, PhD\, Statistician\, BJS \nKeith Hullenaar\, PhD\, T32 Fellow\, Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center\, University of Washington\, Seattle\, WA \nTara Martin\, PhD\, Assistant Professor\, School of Criminal Justice and Criminology\, University of Arkansas at Little Rock
