Abstract

Human trafficking is a complex transnational problem for society and the global economy. While researchers have studied this topic in a variety of contexts, including the criminology, sociology, and clinical domains, there has been little coverage in the operations research (OR) and analytics community. This paper highlights how techniques from OR and analytics can address the growing issue of human trafficking. We describe some of the unique concerns, problems, and challenges of human trafficking in relation to analytical techniques; subsequently, we demonstrate a variety of ways that OR and analytics can be applied in the human trafficking domain.

5. Conclusions and Perspectives

Over the past two decades, human trafficking has generated an increasing amount of public attention throughout the world [138]. The problem has received growing coverage in the media, anti–trafficking activism has risen, and most countries have created new policies, laws, and enforcement mechanisms to counter the problem [138]. Despite this recognition, however, there is a shortage of the application of technical solutions related to analysis, making impact assessments, and assessing decisions related to human trafficking. OR and similar analytical techniques have a unique potential to have a powerful effect in efforts against human trafficking.

Our intention in this paper was to shed light on issues to related to human trafficking for OR and analytics professionals. We summarize many of the key characteristics that are unique to the trafficking of humans and presented several particular challenges that quantitative researchers face. We then suggest a variety of ways in which techniques from the OR and analytics communities, broadly speaking, can be leveraged to counter human trafficking. An appendix is included to facilitate inroads for any interested parties.
