Service providers are increasingly asked to identify individuals who are experiencing trafficking and to connect them with resources and support. Nonetheless, identification is complicated by the reality that those who are experiencing trafficking may rarely self-identify, and providers may fail to identify individuals who are experiencing trafficking due to lack of guidance on how to screen for trafficking capably and sensitively. With the aim of guiding practice, we undertook a scoping review to search for and synthesize trafficking screening tools and response protocols. Following the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR), we located 22 screening tools contained in 26 sources. We included any documents that described or tested human trafficking screening tools, screening or identification protocols, response protocols, or guidelines that were published in any year. All documents were abstracted using a standardized form. Key findings showed that most tools were developed by practice-based and non-governmental organizations located in the U.S. and were administered in the U.S. Few screening tools have been rigorously evaluated. The common types of screening questions and prompts included (a) work conditions; (b) living conditions; (c) physical health; (d) travel, immigration, and movement; (e) appearance and presentation; (f) mental health, trauma, and substance abuse; (g) associations and possessions; and (h) arrests and prior involvement with law enforcement. We were not able to locate specific response protocols that provided step-by-step guidance. Nonetheless, the review revealed available practice-based and research-based evidence to help inform guidance concerning how screening and identification of human trafficking may be administered.

Part Two of the book commences when, after five years of story-gathering in her native South Texas, the author relocates to the region of upstate New York known as “The North Country” for a year-long professorship at St. Lawrence University. She soon learns that the Mohawk Nation of Akwesasne is just a 40 minute drive away. She recognizes this nation as the setting for the haunting 2008 film “Frozen River,” about human trafficking across the St. Lawrence River. After an encounter with the U.S. Border Patrol, the author quickly realizes she is back in nepantla, the land of in-between.

This article challenges the notion that we have much to learn from developing countries as well as much to offer to them. The article describes the philosophy, model and services of Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) as one example of what developing countries have to offer us. We discuss parallels between the CBR model and strategies used in the U.S. to meet education and rehabilitation needs and illuminate CBR practices from which we can learn.

Community-based vocational education programs come under the jurisdiction of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) administered through the U.S. Department of Labor. This paper describes guidelines issued by the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Labor that detail criteria to be met by education agencies to ensure that educational programs operate in compliance with the FLSA. The paper also describes a process used by the authors to generate questions and answers intended to provide further guidance to education personnel responsible for implementing community-based vocational programs.
