Disrupting Illicit Supply Networks: New Applications of Operations Research and Data Analytics to End Modern Slavery
Report from a 2017 National Science Foundation workshop on promising research directions for applications of operations research and data analytics toward the disruption of illicit supply networks like human trafficking. The workshop was funded by the NSFās Operations Engineering (ENG) and the Law & Social Sciences Program (SBE) under grant # CMMI-1726895. The report addresses the opportunity to apply advances from the fields of operations research, management science, analytics, machine learning, and data science toward the development of disruptive interventions against illicit networks. Such an extension of the current research agenda for trafficking would move understanding of such dynamic systems from descriptive characterization and predictive estimation toward improved dynamic operational control.Bureau of Business Researc

Texas State Plan to Address Family Violence: A Survey of Existing Services
This project originated with a 2001 mandate by the Texas Legislature directing the Texas Health
and Human Services Commission (then Texas Department of Human Services) to develop and
maintain a plan for delivering family violence services. The Institute on Domestic Violence and
Sexual Assault (IDVSA) at The University of Texas at Austin was commissioned by the Texas
Council on Family Violence (TCFV) to collect information from service providers across Texas
regarding the geographic distribution of core and additional support services, underserved
populations, emerging initiatives, and the cost of providing these services.
In collaboration with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Council
on Family Violence, IDVSA conducted a comprehensive survey to include all service providers
in Texas; 88 (of the 90 providers targeted) are included in this report. This report aims to share
the results of this survey, in hopes of providing guidance to the planning process for future
family violence services in Texas.Institute on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (IDVSA

The Blueprint for Campus Police: Responding to Sexual Assault
The purpose of The Blueprint for Campus Police: Responding
to Sexual Assault is to fill gaps in current research and identify
best practices in campus police response to sexual assault.
The Blueprint is a multi-level approach to the complex problem of campus sexual assault (CSA) that builds upon the
existing body of knowledge and recognizes the need for identifying emerging best practices. The Blueprint is empirically
driven through in-depth interviews, field observations, and
a thorough review of the policies and practices pertaining to
CSA. This resource is intended to serve as a guide or toolkit for
police at all levels (chief executives, investigation, and patrol)
in response to sexual assault crimes with the implementation
of victim-centered and trauma-informed approaches. In this
way, the Blueprint replaces tradition with science.
The term ācampusā sexual assault may imply a location, however the term refers to sexual assault impacting college-age
students rather than the location of the assault. Research indicates that sexual assault occurs on and off campus property.This project was funded by the Texas Office of the Governor, Criminal Justice Division
(Contract No.UTA14-001266). The opinions, findings, and conclusions expressed
in this publication are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official

Sexual Assault held the prime award.Institute on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (IDVSA
