AI总结:

通过推特数据分析危地马拉失踪儿童的人口特征,揭示女性及青少年失踪率较高,探讨暴力与人口贩卖的关联。

摘要:

失踪儿童,即被相关机构报告为“失踪”的儿童,是一个重要但常被忽视的人群。从研究角度看,失踪儿童是一个难以接触的人群,对其了解甚少。这在全球南方地区尤为突出,这些地区缺乏稳健或集中的数据收集系统。在本研究中,我们分析了危地马拉失踪儿童的人口构成,该国暴力水平较高。我们对比了危地马拉国家警察在2018-2020期间的官方汇总数据与来自政府预警系统Alerta Alba-Keneth的官方推特账号的实时个体数据。利用推特数据,我们通过单年年龄、性别和失踪地点来描述危地马拉失踪儿童的人口特征。我们的结果表明,女性更可能被报告为失踪,特别是13-17岁年龄段的女性。我们讨论了这些发现与已知的失踪人员、暴力和人口贩卖之间的联系。最后,该研究强调了网络数据在通过改善对这类难以接触人群的理解来造福社会方面的潜力。

英文摘要:

Missing children, i.e., children reported to a relevant authority as having "disappeared," constitute an important but often overlooked population. From a research perspective, missing children constitute a hard-to-reach population about which little is known. This is a particular problem in regions of the Global South that lack robust or centralized data collection systems. In this study, we analyze the composition of the population of missing children in Guatemala, a country with high levels of violence. We contrast the official aggregated-level data from the Guatemalan National Police during the 2018-2020 period with real-time individual-level data on missing children from the official Twitter account of the Alerta Alba-Keneth, a governmental warning system tasked with disseminating information about missing children. Using the Twitter data, we characterize the population of missing children in Guatemala by single-year age, sex, and place of disappearance. Our results show that women are more likely to be reported as missing, particularly those aged 13-17. We discuss the findings in light of the known links between missing people, violence, and human trafficking. Finally, the study highlights the potential of web data to contribute to society by improving our understanding of this and similar hard-to-reach populations.
