Getting Started

Red flags point to a larger problem, and they can assist us in investigating and hopefully identifying the problem. Recognizing potential red flags and knowing the indicators of human trafficking to look for is a key step in identifying victims (Polaris, 2018). When we review red flags and evaluate a situation, we must remember that there is no “exhaustive list” of red flags and everyone’s situation is different.

Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:

  • Identify red flags for human trafficking

Resources

  • Textbook: Human Trafficking: Applying Research, Theory, and Case Studies
  • Website: Polaris Project
  • Website: National Human Trafficking Hotline
  • Website: Homeland Security: Blue Campaign

Background Information

Being aware of human trafficking red flags assists us in awareness and recognition efforts in our personal and professional lives.
