How cybercriminals ensnare people into human trafficking

As found in one of the studies in today's Crime Research Update

Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is The Art of Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you think and write about crime.

Use this tip sheet to help you integrate the latest research into your work. It's a directory of new crime research published by the academic journals that I monitor, including, for example, this study listing:

Assessing Human Trafficking and Cybercrime Intersections Through Survivor Narratives

Journal: Deviant Behavior
Keywords: human trafficking, cybercrime, survivor
First author: Suleman Lazarus (University of Surrey) [+2 other authors]

In this case study, researchers examined the testimony of a survivor and his experience with Cambodian scamming compounds, where human trafficking victims are trained and forced to work as online fraudsters. The study is open access, meaning it is available to read in its entirety for free.

You’ll find more listings for today’s new research below.

The research listings for today's research are sorted by two broad categories: crime type and criminal justice/legal system stage. Research that doesn’t get sorted into those categories follows under “Unsorted Research.”

Three weeks from now, the rest of this paid tip sheet unlocks and free subscribers will be notified by email.
