Human trafficking is a huge, growing global problem. Sex trafficking is the most pervasive form of human trafficking. In this episode, we discuss how the Deliver Fund uses information technology to help law enforcement track the traffickers through their P.A.T.H. system. Drs. Giddens and Petter also discuss their research into factors that affect law enforcement officers' use of P.A.T.H.

Dr. Laurie Giddens is an assistant professor in the department of Technology and Decision Sciences at North Texas University.

Dr. Stacie Petter is a professor in the School of Business at Wake Forest University.
