Abstract

Human trafficking is a serious crime. Through its links to organised crime and corruption, human trafficking undermines the security of states. And, because it involves the exploitation of millions, it also violates fundamental human rights. Trafficking has garnered enormous attention over recent years. The contributions to this book, written by experts in their fields, looks both back and forward: back at mistakes made and lessons learned, as well as forward at ways that counter-trafficking can be improved in the future.

Divided into three parts, this book examines first some key thematic areas, including trafficking and corruption, links with organised crime, and the overlap with other forms of migration. It then focuses on key security sector actors, analysing their roles and providing policy recommendations for police, prosecutors and judges, peacekeepers, and migration management actors, among others. Finally, it explores the key issue of counter-trafficking cooperation and draws policy-relevant conclusions about how such cooperation can be improved.

The book’s conclusions and recommendations are relevant for policymakers, security practitioners, researchers, and the general public.
