This webinar will describe the methodological and practical issues for researchers to consider when examining data on missing persons, and present the issues that make reporting and investigating missing Native persons particularly challenging.
Using data from four point-in-time-counts of missing persons in Nebraska in 2020, the presenters will report the prevalence and context of Nebraska’s missing persons and missing Native persons, and describe stability and change across demographic groups over time. The presenters also collected qualitative data from victim service providers regarding ways to support families and loved ones of missing persons.
