Juvenile justice involvement is a risk factor for sex trafficking, as is teen dating violence (TDV). However, little is known about how TDV victimization correlates with sex-trafficking victimization among girls in juvenile detention. This study was conducted with 111 detained female minors from two Arizona juvenile detention centers. All female detainees were screened for sex-trafficking risk factors by a clinical staff member and completed a series of surveys about their life experiences and a dating violence history survey. Nearly half of the participants, 42.3% ( = 47), reported having experienced sex trafficking. Girls in juvenile detention who reported sex-trafficking victimization were significantly more likely to report higher scores on the TDV scale.
涉足少年司法系统是遭受性交易的一个风险因素，青少年约会暴力（TDV）也是如此。然而，对于在少年拘留所中的女孩而言，TDV受害情况与性交易受害情况之间的关联却鲜为人知。本研究对来自亚利桑那州两个少年拘留中心的111名被拘留未成年女性进行了调查。所有女性被拘留者均由一名临床工作人员进行了性交易风险因素筛查，并完成了一系列关于其生活经历的调查以及一项约会暴力史调查。近一半的参与者，即42.3%（n = 47），报告称曾遭受性交易。报告称遭受性交易受害的少年拘留所女孩在TDV量表上的得分显著更高。
