Abstract
Due to inconsistencies and the sometimes-questionable methods in which estimates are
obtained, some scholars have recommended avoiding using any existing prevalence estimates to quantify the problem—at least in reference to sex trafficking of minors (Finkelhor, Vaquerano, & Stranski, 2017). However, as awareness in this area has increased, there has been a movement to gather more empirical data to inform our knowledge base. Thus, the current study seeks to extend prior research to estimate the prevalence of minors and young adults who are known victims and at-risk for trafficking in Ohio. (Author Introduction)
