This books demonstrates the difficulty of protecting victims of human trafficking from being held liable for crimes they were compelled to commit in the course, or as a consequence, of being trafficked, under current European law. The legislation remains vague and potentially inadequate to recognise victimhood, safeguard the human rights of victims, and avoid further victimisation. Muraszkiewicz explains how the non-liability principle is rooted in criminal and human rights law, and proposes a more efficient provision and framework which would protect trafficked persons, and do better to encourage victims to act as witnesses in criminal proceedings against the perpetrators. In doing so the book will provide relevant stakeholders, including policy makers and law enforcement authorities, with a better understanding of the non-liability principle and how it ought to be used in practice.

"This study examines protection mechanisms for victims of human trafficking as these mechanisms have developed in five countries. Victim protection covers legal recognition of the victim as such and support and assistance to trafficked persons. The first three countries examined ... are Belgium, the Netherlands, and Italy. These three countries were selected on the basis of having established laws and highly developed systems for protecting trafficking victims. Along with the United States, the three are generally regarded as being in the forefront of victim protection. The fourth country examined, the Commonwealth of Australia, serves as an example of an advanced country that is a latecomer to the task of developing suitable laws and protection mechanism, but that is striving now to bring its laws and policies into harmony with international "best practice." Canada provides a case of a country that was in the forefront of the original international push to address trafficking, but that itself has proven uneven in the development of protection mechanisms. This study considers each country's criminal and immigration legislation pertinent to human trafficking, institutional arrangements for implementing the countries' policies, and specific kinds of assistance and support offered to victims."--Preface.

Human trafficking is a serious crime with grave human rights implicatoins. States are obliged to protect victims as part of their international obligations under the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (Trafficking in Persons Protocol) and other international instruments, including international human rights conventions, and regional commitments. Victim protection is also a cornerstone of an effective criminal justice response to the crime; unless victims of trafficking are appropriately protected, they will not be empowered to support criminal justice action against traffickers.

Signed into law in 2000, the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) defined the crime of human trafficking and brought attention to an issue previously unknown to most Americans. But while human trafficking is widely considered a serious and despicable crime, there has been far less consensus as to how to approach the problem—owing in part to a pervasive emphasis on forced prostitution that overshadows repugnant practices in other labor sectors affecting vulnerable populations. Responding to Human Trafficking examines the ways in which cultural perceptions of sexual exploitation and victimhood inform the drafting, interpretation, and implementation of U.S. antitrafficking law, as well as the law's effects on trafficking victims. Drawing from interviews with social workers and case managers, attorneys, investigators, and government administrators as well as trafficked persons, Alicia W. Peters explores how cultural and symbolic frameworks regarding sex, gender, and victimization were incorporated into the drafting of the TVPA and have been replicated through the interpretation and implementation of the law. Tracing the path of the TVPA over the course of nearly a decade, Responding to Human Trafficking reveals the profound gaps in understanding that pervade implementation as service providers and criminal justice authorities strive to collaborate and perform their duties. Ultimately, this sensitive ethnography sheds light on the complex and wide-ranging effects of the TVPA on the victims it was designed to protect.

Ten years ago, the U.N. and the U.S. enacted laws and treaties against human trafficking. Since then, the international community has witnessed tangible progress in the effort to end the scourge of trafficking in persons. Countries that once denied the existence of human trafficking now work to identify victims and help them overcome the trauma of modern slavery, as well as hold responsible those who enslave others. This Report outlines the continuing challenges across the globe, It highlights several key trends, including the suffering of women and children in involuntary domestic servitude, the challenges and successes in identifying and protecting victims, and the need to include anti-trafficking policies in our response to natural disasters.

This book explores the significance of efforts designed to combat sex trafficking in the United States. A case study of new ways in which law enforcement agents, social service providers, and nongovernmental advocates have joined forces. The author examines how partnerships forged in the name of fighting domestic sex trafficking have blurred the boundaries between punishment and protection, victim and offender, and state and nonstate authority.

Human trafficking is a crime that undermines fundamental human rights and a broader sense of global order. It is an atrocity that transcends borders—with some regions known as exporters of trafficking victims and others recognized as destination countries. Edited by three global experts and composed of the work of an esteemed panel of contributors, Human Trafficking: Exploring the International Nature, Concerns, and Complexities examines techniques used to protect and support victims of trafficking as well as strategies for prosecution of offenders. Topics discussed include: How data on human trafficking should be collected and analyzed, and how data collection can be improved through proper contextualization The importance of harmonization and consistency in legal definitions and interpretations within and among regions The need for increased exchange of information and cooperation between the various actors involved in combating human trafficking, including investigators, law enforcement and criminal justice professionals, and social workers Problems with victim identification, as well as erroneous assumptions of the scope of victimization Controversy over linking protection measures with cooperation with authorities Highlighting the issues most addressed by contemporary scholars, researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers, this volume also suggests areas ripe for further inquiry and investigation. Supplemented by discussion questions in each chapter, the book is sure to stimulate debate on a troubling phenomenon.
