Image-Based Abuse and Trauma
Image-based sexual abuse, which is sometimes referred to as “revenge pornography” is the distribution of sexually explicit images or video of individuals without their permission. The material may be used by the perpetrators to blackmail the subjects into performing sex acts, to punish them for ending a relationship, to coerce them into continuing a relationship, or to silence them. In addition to these dynamics, extortion and monetary payment are often involved. Image-based sexual abuse is a form of psychological and domestic abuse, as well as a form of sexual abuse. This type of evidence, coupled with the suspect’s manipulative behavior, is used to control victims in domestic violence and human trafficking situations.

Social Justice Disparities in Utilizing Forensic Nurses – The Innovative Generalist Perspective
Forensic nurses have historically been deployed for cases of sexual assault and are under-utilized by law enforcement, advocates, and healthcare settings. As our communities experience even greater numbers of violent crimes, it is essential that forensic nurses are better utilized to care for victim patients and create stronger outcomes. The “generalist perspective” is a paradigm shift designed to eliminate the inequities between victims of violence and assures that all victims of trauma across the lifespan are cared for by skilled, trauma-informed nurses. The generalist model assures care responses that work in urban, rural, and tribal communities with a variety of staffing options.

Stronger Together: Creating a Human Trafficking Collaborative Using the Baltimore Blue Dot Model
In 2018, Baltimore City launched a multidisciplinary collaborative of 48 federal, state, and local agencies who came together to combat human trafficking in both sex and labor along the Baltimore Washington corridor. This innovative and committed group recognized the challenges of having no central point of intake for these vulnerable victims and created the Blue Dot Initiative of Baltimore City. Understanding that the majority of these victims are strangled and the inequity of justice in demonstrating wounds in darkly pigmented victims, alternate light source technology has equalized the field of justice for victims of trafficking and is now accepted in Baltimore City court systems. Cities across the country are seeking guidance in replicating this collaborative model which has identified and offered warm hand off resources and safety to over 150 victims of trafficking in 18 months.
