本研究将网络分析应用于在线环境中的国内人口贩运活动,以识别贩运线路。许多网站都提供与性贩运相关的在线分类广告、讨论论坛、评论网站和社交媒体。根据需求,被贩运者被系统地转移到美国各地,贩运者利用在线分类网站为受害者做广告。这项研究的目标是识别开放互联网资源上发布的在线广告中的性贩运指标,并得出运动模式。我们在六周的时间范围内收集了夏威夷成人服务的在线分类广告,并评估了人口贩运的指标。分析中捕获的数据用于检测潜在被贩运者的移动趋势,并绘制出可视化的国内线路。观察活动的一个关键因素是广告中的电话号码,因为它通过在线广告和客户评论与个人联系起来。
This study applies network analysis to domestic human trafficking activity in online environments to identify trafficking circuits. Numerous websites host online classifieds, discussion forums, review sites, and social media related to sex trafficking. Trafficked persons are systematically moved to various locations throughout the U.S. based on demand, and traffickers use online classified sites to advertise their victims. The goals of this study were to identify indicators of sex trafficking in online advertisements posted on open Internet sources and to derive movement patterns. Online classified ads for adult services in Hawai'i were collected over a six-week time frame and assessed for indicators of human trafficking. Data captured in the analysis was used to detect movement trends of potential trafficked persons and mapped to visualize domestic circuits. A key element in observing movement was the advertised phone number, as it is linked to the individual through online advertisements and customer reviews.
