Two years later, Pohl and Hawk performed experiments on how cells respond differently to a nonuniform electric field based on the cell type. Such observations were the inception of cell separation methods, which allow isolating a single cell type from a heterogeneous sample.

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Criminology
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Sexual exploitation of trafficked victims is intrinsically linked to enforced isolation.
  • Understanding traffickers' isolation tactics is key to comprehending their control over victims.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine how traffickers utilize various elements of isolation.
  • To determine how these tactics contribute to traffickers' success in maintaining control.

Main Methods:

  • In-depth narrative analysis of 14 women (ages 20-53) who are survivors of sex trafficking.
  • Participants were recruited from an agency serving trafficking victims in a large metropolitan city.

Main Results:

  • Traffickers employed structural isolation (physical/social restrictions) and functional isolation (elimination of privacy/social support, unreliable peers).
  • Survivors experienced a combination of both structural and functional isolation tactics.
  • Tactics included shrinking safe social space and eliminating privacy.

Conclusions:

  • The study reveals interwoven types and patterns of isolation experienced by trafficking survivors.
  • Findings enrich the literature on coercive control and abuse by providing a deeper understanding of isolation in trafficking.
  • Recognizing these multifaceted isolation tactics is vital for effective intervention and support for survivors.
