在美国各地，法律的专业人员和倡导者已采取措施，解决接触性贩运受害者的问题。一个普遍接受的做法是主张删除Craigslist和Backpage等免费媒体上的“性销售”广告。尽管许多倡导者和法律的专业人员都对这一打击引诱卖淫的行动表示欢迎，但删除这类广告并不直接影响性贩运的普遍性。事实上，转移理论表明，取消招揽广告和有针对性的警务迫使贩运者在其他地方做广告或在出售受害者方面更具创造性，从而掩盖性贩运行为，使其不易被识别。虽然我们不主张维持“性销售”广告，但删除这些广告的过程适得其反，对美国的性交易发生率几乎没有积极影响。相反，它迫使贩运者和受害者在已经隐藏的性贩运世界中埋得更深。刑事流离失所的理论和研究所产生的政策影响。
Throughout the United States, legal professionals and advocates have taken measures to address the access to victims of sex trafficking. A commonly accepted practice has been to advocate for the removal of ‘sex for sale’ advertising in free media such as Craigslist and Backpage. Although this action against the solicitation of prostitution has been celebrated by many advocates and legal professionals, the removal of such advertisements does not directly affect the prevalence of sex trafficking. In fact, displacement theory suggests that the removal of solicitation advertisements and targeted policing forces traffickers to simply advertise elsewhere or become more creative in selling the victims, thereby concealing the act of sex trafficking and making it less identifiable. Although we do not advocate for the maintenance of ‘sex for sale’ advertisements, the process of removing these ads is counterproductive, having little positive impact on the incidence of sex trafficking in the United States. Rather, it forces both traffickers and victims to bury deeper in the already hidden world of sex trafficking. Policy implications derived from criminal displacement theory and research are provided.
