As we spoke earlier this year, I made you aware of the work being done by danah boyd, Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit and myself on human trafficking of minors-including the illegal trade of children and teens for commercial sexual exploitation in the United States. We agree that this is a crime so vile that it makes most people shudder. But unfortunately, not everyone recoils: pedophiles and procurers have made the commercial sexual exploitation of children an international business, and there is little doubt that technology is increasingly playing a role in their criminal practices. Which is why today I am pleased to announce that Microsoft Research Connections is partnering with danah boyd<http://www.danah.org/>, one of the top social media researchers from the Microsoft New England Research and Development Lab<http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/labs/newengland/>, and the Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit<http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/presskits/dcu/> to issue a Request for Proposals<http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/collaboration/focus/education/human-trafficking-rfp.aspx> (RFP) to investigate the implications of technology in this heinous crime. You can read my blog post here<http://blogs.msdn.com/b/msr_er/archive/2011/12/07/rfp-on-using-technology-to-combat-human-trafficking.aspx> You can access the RFP here<http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/collaboration/focus/education/human-trafficking-rfp.aspx> You can access our human trafficking framework here<http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/collaboration/focus/education/htframework-2011.pdf> I hope you will share this with all researchers you know and I hope you will consider submitting a proposal. We hope to make significant impact but need to start a rigorous academic community to help us truly understand the magnitude of the problem before we can create solutions that will make a lasting impact.
