• Abstract: Human trafficking, the commercial exploitation of individuals, is a gross violation of human rights and harms societies, economies, health and development. The related disciplines of Operations Management (OM), Analytics, and Operations Research (OR) are uniquely positioned to support trafficking prevention and intervention efforts by efficiently evaluating a plethora of decision alternatives, and providing quantitative, actionable insights. As operations and analytical efforts in the counter-trafficking field emerge, it is imperative to grasp subtle yet distinctive nuances associated with human trafficking. This note is intended to inform those practitioners working in the field by highlighting key features of human trafficking activity. We grouped nine themes around three broad categories: (1) representation of human trafficking, (2) consideration of survivors and communities, and (3) analytics related. These insights are derived from our collective experience in working in this area and substantiated by domain expertise.

  We build upon prior work that studies assistance through the lens of empowerment. An assistive agent aims to maximize the influence of the human's actions. We prove that these representations estimate a similar notion of empowerment to that studied by prior work.

  An algorithm effects a causal representation of relations between features and labels in the human's perception. Explanations can direct the human's attention to the conflicting feature and away from other relevant features. This leads to causal overattribution and may adversely affect the human's information processing.

  "Exploitation Business" focuses on businesses targeting non-experts or fraudsters who capitalize on information asymmetry to sell their products or services to desperate individuals. This phenomenon thrives on individuals' limited access to information, lack of expertise, and Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) The recent advancement of social media and the rising trend of fandom business have accelerated the proliferation of such exploitation business models.
