]]>Roberto Potter, Ph.D.
Professor, Department of Criminal Justice
Applying Science to the Particularly “Wicked Problem” of Human Trafficking
Human trafficking (labor, sex, domestic servitude and organ harvesting) has been framed in primarily moral and criminal justice terms until recently. Using the legal definitions of human trafficking as our operational/case definition, we will explore how the application of an applied science model (alternatively, a public health approach), can assist us to achieve multiple desired outcomes. First among these is effective treatment for survivors of trafficking. This also involves generating accurate estimates of the scope of the trafficking problem. Another important outcome is the prevention of trafficking perpetration and victimization. Effective treatment for those who perpetrate human trafficking is a desired outcome. We will discuss multiple models that address these outcomes and the utilization of scientific knowledge that can be applied to addressing the “wicked problem” of human trafficking.

]]>Travel to Italy where love, lust and sword fights bring this restoration comedy about a band of banished Englishmen to life.
Love, lust and confusion set in when a band of banished English Cavaliers, including Colonel Belvile and Captain Willmore, arrive in Naples during Carnival. One is in search of love and the other a good time. Considered the first professional female playwright, Aphra Behn brings a witty and chaotic look at the idea of love and lust filled with mistaken identity, lies, sword fights and extravagant disguises in this 17th century classic.
