全世界有数量惊人的青年成为商业性剥削，特别是性贩运的受害者。整个青少年时期-青少年面临被贩运风险最大的年龄-的规范性发展过程和动机，加上他们的历史，使他们极有可能不愿意向警察透露他们受到的剥削，警察经常遇到受害者，因为他们被怀疑有违法行为和犯罪行为，并将受害者作为嫌疑人进行审讯。很少有科学和政策的关注，以了解如何询问这些受害者的方式，减少他们的披露不情愿，并增加他们的法律相关信息的提供。在目前的审查中，我们描述了有关贩运受害者的历史和剥削的经验，青少年嫌疑人和受害者的遭遇与法律的系统，以及最佳做法的法医访谈方法，以引出披露从儿童受害者的研究。我们强调这些领域的影响，了解警方如何遇到和互动与青少年贩运受害者之间的动态，以及受害者是否以及如何披露贩运细节在这些互动。最后，我们提出了一项研究议程，以测试性贩运嫌疑受害者的访谈方法，并为访谈者提出了政策和实践建议。
An alarming number of youth worldwide are victims of commercial sexual exploitation, particularly sex trafficking. Normative developmental processes and motivations across the adolescent period-the age when youth are at greatest risk for trafficking-combined with their history, make them highly likely to be reluctant to disclose their exploitation to police, who often encounter victims because they are suspected of delinquency and crime and who interrogate the victims as suspects. Little scientific and policy attention has been devoted to understanding how to question these victims in a way that reduces their disclosure reluctance and increases their provision of legally relevant information. In the current review, we describe research concerning trafficking victims' histories and exploitative experiences, juvenile suspects' and victims' encounters with the legal system, and best-practice forensic interviewing approaches to elicit disclosures from child victims. We highlight the implications of these areas for understanding the dynamics between how police encounter and interact with adolescent trafficking victims and whether and how the victims disclose trafficking details during these interactions. We close with an agenda for research to test interviewing methods for suspected victims of sex trafficking and with policy and practice recommendations for interviewers.
