Alexandra Lutnick is a senior research scientist for the San Francisco– based Urban Health Program at RTI International’s Behavioral Health and Criminal Justice Research Division. She has more than 10 years of experience conducting community-based research with marginalized populations such as drug users, the homeless, sex workers, and trafficked persons. Additionally, she just completed a National Institute of Justice funded evaluation of the anti-trafficking task force in San Francisco, CA.

Published by Columbia University Press, her recent book, Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking: Beyond Victims and Villains, “is the most comprehensive and sophisticated book on this topic on the market. Conventional depictions portray minors involved in prostitution monolithically and stereotypically, but this volume points to important complexities and variations at every stage―from entry to exit. Drawing on life-course theory, the book documents diversity in pathways into prostitution, relations between minors and third parties, work experiences, access to needed services, and state laws and enforcement patterns. It is a major contribution to our understanding of this world.” -Ronald Weitzer, George Washington University
