Episode 85: A Tale of Two Research Findings

First-  A Spike in Human Trafficking During the Pandemic. Second- Communities with Higher Rates of Slavery in the 1800s are the Same Communities with Higher Reports of Human Trafficking today.

Mathematician and Researcher David Corliss provides his latest research findings. He reports on how the pandemic has affected human trafficking, domestic violence, poverty, and other factors. For instance, one of his findings show a recent spike in rural trafficking. Another finding suggests that those areas that had a larger percentage of legal slavery in the 1800’s are communities during the pandemic today that also show a larger percentage of reported human trafficking.
