摘要

执法人员往往是第一批接触到商业性贩运受害者的专业人员。虽然他们可能遇到过文化和犯罪的女性受害者，但他们可能需要更多地了解如何识别男性受害者。本研究评估了一项旨在提高执法专业人员对男性性侵犯受害者认识的培训方案的有效性。在训练前和训练后对被试(N = 132)的知识水平进行了测试，结果显示前测知识得分较低。大多数参与者(77%)之前没有接受过男性CST的培训，从测试前到测试后，知识有了显著的增长。没有一个参与者的人口统计学变量是测试前或测试后分数的显著预测因子。提供了对培训执法人员的启示。

Commercial sexual trafficking of males: A pilot training with law enforcement

ABSTRACT Law enforcement agents are often the first professionals to come into contact with victims of commercial sexual trafficking (CST). While they likely have encountered female victims of CST, they may need increased understanding of the identification of male victims. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a training program aimed to increase awareness of male victims of CST among law enforcement professionals. Participants’ (N = 132) knowledge level was examined prior to the training and immediately thereafter and results showed that pretest knowledge scores were low. The majority of participants (77%) did not have prior training in CST in males and there was a significant gain in knowledge from pre to posttest. None of the participants’ demographic variables were significant predictors of pretest or posttest scores. Implications for training law enforcement in male CST are provided.

期刊介绍： Criminal Justice Studies, a quarterly refereed journal, publishes articles that deal with substantive criminal justice and criminological issues. The journal welcomes all articles that are relevant to the issue of criminal justice, as well as those that may be outside the field but have relevancy to the topic of criminal justice. Articles that cover public administration, issues of public policy, as well as public affairs issues are welcome. The journal also publishes relevant literature reviews, research notes and summary reports of innovative research projects in criminal justice. Qualitative and quantifiable articles are sought mainly from academics and researchers in the field, though articles from professionals will also be considered.
