Public campaigns have increased awareness of the occurrence of trafficking, but the depiction of victims often invokes stereotypes that fail to match characteristics known to be associated with experiences of trafficking, such as high levels of mistrust of authorities, prior victimisation, delinquent histories and uncooperativeness. We examined the extent to which the latter characteristics (i.e., delinquency and uncooperativeness) impact the general public's ability to identify minor victims of trafficking and to whom the public attributes responsibility when such characteristics are present.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Method</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>A total of 425 adults read vignettes alluding to trafficking that varied in references to delinquency (present vs. absent) and cooperation (high vs. low) of a minor victim and rendered decisions about what happened and who is to blame.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>When minors were described as delinquent, participants saw the minor as more likely to have committed a crime and as responsible for their situation.
