Youth coerced into trafficking experience multiple forms of abuse, and are deprived of basic human rights associated with liberty and self-determination, all of which can adversely affect mental and psychological well-being (Ottisova et al., Behavioral Medicine, 44(3), 234-241.). This study uses a qualitative approach to exploring how judges use trauma-related information to make decisions about how to adjudicate cases involving minors who have been sexually trafficked. Additionally, the study identifies barriers to receiving data, the court resources needed to effectively respond, and potential remedies to address gaps in effective case management. The study uses data from 82 juvenile and family court judges from around the USA 27-item structured interview was used to determine the availability and utility of trauma services, needed resources, and solutions to overcome gaps in effective case adjudication. Themes emerged related to lack of access to and timing issues that limited the utility of reports, lack of congruency between recommendations and available resources and child and family resistance to disclosures. Solutions to overcome barriers are related to increased cross-disciplinary collaboration, awareness and responsiveness. Legal remedies such as Safe Harbor laws can only be realized if the systemic context is aligned and appropriately resourced toward responsiveness.

创伤评估在儿童性贩运案件司法决策中的效用：定性分析

被迫贩运的青少年遭受多种形式的虐待，并被剥夺与自由和自决相关的基本人权，所有这些都会对精神和心理健康产生不利影响（Ottisova 等人，行为医学），44（3），234-241。）。本研究采用定性方法来探讨法官如何利用创伤相关信息来做出如何裁决涉及未成年人被性贩运的案件的决定。此外，该研究还确定了接收数据的障碍、有效应对所需的法院资源以及解决有效案件管理差距的潜在补救措施。该研究使用来自美国各地 82 名青少年和家庭法院法官的数据，通过 27 项结构化访谈来确定创伤服务的可用性和效用、所需资源以及克服有效案件裁决差距的解决方案。出现的主题与缺乏访问权限和时间安排问题有关，这些问题限制了报告的实用性，建议与现有资源之间缺乏一致性，以及儿童和家庭对披露的抵制。克服障碍的解决方案与增强跨学科协作、意识和响应能力有关。只有在系统环境协调一致并为响应性提供适当资源的情况下，诸如安全港法之类的法律补救措施才能实现。
