Abstract

English Abstract: This paper outlines the key elements – objectives, investigative methods, key findings, and resulting policy and practice implications – of the research conducted by Hales and Gelsthorpe (2012) between 2010 and 2011 at the Institute of Criminology at the University of Cambridge. It then goes on to document developments in the UK since the publication of their findings, and to identify conclusions that we can draw from these findings that are relevant to meeting the challenges of combating human trafficking.
