The goal of the hearings is to help shape recommendations on steps the federal government can take to address the crisis of missing, murdered, and human trafficking cases in the United States. The commission is expected to introduce its recommendations by October 2023. Panel members spoke candidly about issues surrounding education, early intervention, substance abuse, cultural connection in urban settings, and a gross lack of case data.
The two subcommittees at Tuesday’s hearing included Victim Services as well as Legislative and Administrative changes. After panel discussions, the floor opened to individual testimony that was closed to media for privacy. The public hearing will conclude Wednesday. The next hearing is scheduled to be held in Flagstaff, AZ sometime in May.
