摘要

目标:儿童性贩运 (CST) 是指未成年人参与以性换取商品、服务、毒品或金钱的商业交易。COVID-19 大流行对许多与 CST 受害相关的风险因素以及 CST 服务的可用性产生了负面影响。我们研究了服务提供者对大流行如何影响美国青少年 CST 受害轨迹的看法:我们收集了来自美国 11 个城市的 80 名执法专业人员和服务提供者的定性数据,他们都在为受 CST 影响的青少年提供服务。半结构式访谈持续了约 1 个小时,并进行了数字录音、逐字记录和基础理论编码:我们发现了 3 个与大流行病对 CST 受害轨迹的影响有关的首要主题:诱导、犯罪和服务提供。参与者描述了网络活动的增加如何增加了 CST 的风险,即使在没有传统风险因素的儿童中也是如此。不过,技术也为青少年寻求帮助和接受服务提供了便利。此外,与会者还报告了虚拟服务的增加情况,这在更大范围内促进了儿童色情服务的获得和可用性:结论:在大流行病期间,年轻人使用技术的情况有所增加,导致经历技术推动的 CST 的风险增加。对遭受 CST 伤害的年轻人使用技术的情况以及这种情况与一般年轻人的不同之处尚未进行充分的研究,而这些研究可能会为预防和治疗提供启示。总之,研究结果凸显了流行病学研究的必要性,有助于确定全球和国家事件如何影响年轻人的受害轨迹。

COVID-19 and Child Sex Trafficking: Qualitative Insights on the Effect of the Pandemic on Victimization and Service Provision.

Objectives: Child sex trafficking (CST) is the involvement of minors in the commercial exchange of sex for goods, services, drugs, or money. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected many risk factors associated with CST victimization and the availability of CST services. We examined service providers' perspectives on how the pandemic affected trajectories of CST victimization among young people in the United States.

Methods: We collected qualitative data from 80 law enforcement professionals and service providers working with young people affected by CST from 11 US cities. Semistructured interviews lasted approximately 1 hour and were digitally recorded, transcribed verbatim, and coded via a grounded theory approach.

Results: We found 3 overarching themes related to the pandemic's effect on CST victimization trajectories: grooming, perpetration, and service provision. Participants described how increased online activity may have increased the risk of CST, even among children without traditional risk factors. However, technology also facilitated young people's agency in seeking help and receiving services. In addition, participants reported increases in virtual service provision that facilitated access to, and availability of, CST services more generally.

Conclusions: Technology use among young people increased during the pandemic, leading to increases in the risks of experiencing technology-facilitated CST. Technology use among young people who experience CST victimization-and how it may differ from young people more generally-is underexplored and may provide insights into prevention and treatment. Collectively, results highlight the need for epidemiologic research to help identify how global and national events affect trajectories of victimization among young people.

It is published bimonthly, plus supplement issues, through an official agreement with the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health. The journal is peer-reviewed and publishes original research and commentaries in the areas of public health practice and methodology, original research, public health law, and public health schools and teaching. Issues contain regular commentaries by the U.S. Surgeon General and executives of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health. The journal focuses upon such topics as tobacco control, teenage violence, occupational disease and injury, immunization, drug policy, lead screening, health disparities, and many other key and emerging public health issues.
