▼ Victims of human
trafficking may be exploited for prostitution, sweatshop labor, domestic work, and as child soldiers for armed conflicts. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, "after drug dealing, human
trafficking is tied with the illegal arms industry as the second largest criminal industry in the world today, and it is the fastest growing, with an annual profit of $32 billion" (U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2004). This thesis looks at policies that are in place to prevent, prosecute and protect against human
trafficking in ten countries from around the world that have changed to Tier 1 countries according to the U.S. State Department's annual
Trafficking In Persons report. This study analyzed if there were trends in what kind of policies were implemented by state's governments that allowed them to be credited with a Tier 1 ranking, as well as, compared policies that were in place the year before the state changed Tier rankings. The data showed no definite trend in what it took to become ranked as a Tier 1 country, however the majority of the countries data showed that as long as improvements were made from the previous year then that country would move to a higher ranking. This research demonstrates that the TIP report does not consistently rank countries using the same standards. However, it proves that the shaming and global pressure through sanctions that the United States puts on other countries through the annual publishing of the TIP report does make a positive difference when it comes to countries working to combat human
trafficking.

Trafficking in persons for the removal of organs in India: exploring the impact of economic, social, and cultural factors on vulnerability and protection.

▼ This dissertation explores how influences on the individual, family, community, and governmental level impact susceptibility to trafficking in persons for the removal of organs (TPRO) in India. Two of the research questions examine specifically what impacts vulnerability and protection among a sample of 43 individuals living in a community in India. The third research question explores the role of the living organ donor assessment process in the prevention of trafficking.
In this dissertation, the theoretical understanding of how choices are made, or not made, particularly by vulnerable individuals, is explored. Qualitative interviews were conducted with persons trafficked for organ removal and persons not trafficked for organ removal who are living within the same socio-economic environment, but who were not all trafficked for organ removal. Study data were analyzed using constructivist grounded theory methods. Findings from this study show that economic, cultural, and social influences affect both protection from and susceptibility to trafficking. It was found that resources, government response to poverty, motivations, and the utilization of the body as an economic tool all influence trafficking status. Additionally, it was found that cultural and social influences included gender, family dynamics, awareness and community information sharing, and organ sale broker presence. Furthermore, trafficked persons secure government approval for organ removal through broker facilitation and the donor assessment often fails to protect against of persons for organs. Findings reveal that family pacts against organ sales, knowledge of negative consequences of transplant, and protect individuals from being trafficked for an organ.
For those who were trafficked, it was found that the combination of poverty, coupled with the presence of organ brokers who work within an inadequate donor assessment system t created an environment where poverty originated organ removal (POOR) occurs. Both trafficked and non-trafficked individuals utilized their bodies in the way that they could to survive or meet financial obligations, as the environment requires it. This structurally coercive environment leads to trafficking of individuals for organ removal through the abuse of the individual’s vulnerability. This research provides macro to micro level recommendations for the elimination of TPRO through preventative programs and policies, as well as highlights the need for assistance for trafficked persons.

▼ Victims of domestic minor sex
trafficking experience a myriad of health problems, giving healthcare providers an important opportunity to identify these children. Despite the significant role of physicians, midlevel providers, nurses, and social workers, little is known about factors influencing healthcare providers’ likelihood of identifying and reporting possible victims. The purpose of this study was to examine the individual (knowledge, perceived barriers, self-efficacy) and environmental (healthcare environment) factors impacting a healthcare provider’s intention to identify and report domestic minor sex
trafficking victims within a clinical setting.
This exploratory, mixed-methods study was divided into two phases. In both phases, participants were healthcare providers working in the United States. In Phase 1, participants (n=21) completed an in-depth interview exploring their views and experiences in relation to sex
trafficking of American children. In Phase 2, participants (n=59) completed an electronic survey examining knowledge, perceived barriers, self-efficacy, views of the healthcare environment, and behavioral intention. Results from the analysis in Phase 1 informed the development of the survey in Phase 2.
Interview respondents reported a lack of awareness and minimal education on sex
trafficking as the primary factors impacting their perceived ability to assist victims. Environmental factors constraining their capacity to identify victims were time limitations, lack of multidisciplinary teams, and unclear policies to identify and report victims. Phase 1 participants described the need for more education among healthcare providers in order to increase victim identification. Results of the Phase 2 surveys supported the results from Phase 1. Participants in Phase 2 reported low self-efficacy in their ability to identify and assist victims of sex
trafficking. Knowledge and views of the healthcare environment predicted participants’ intention to identify and report possible sex
trafficking victims. Participants with higher knowledge of domestic minor sex
trafficking and greater self-efficacy had the greatest intention to report possible victims. Based on these results, interventions targeting healthcare professionals should incorporate more education on
trafficking victims and their clinical characteristics. As a part of these interventions, improving policies and organizational environment for healthcare providers are essential to increase identification and reporting.

▼ M.A. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2011.
This study identified and compared common practices of public campaign strategies against human trafficking. It examined messages, visual images, and symbols in campaign posters. In this study I used two methods: content analysis of posters and interviews with representatives from anti-trafficking organizations. Content analysis was used to identify common messages, sub-themes, visual images, and symbols used in campaign materials. Interviews were conducted to explore similarities and differences among organizations in developing campaign strategies. Each organization has a unique strategy to raise awareness, to gain support and to raise fund from their various target audiences. The commonality that runs through these campaigns is a call to action to prevent human trafficking. The study also found that most campaign materials focus on sexual slavery and not forced labor. Finally, this study also identified an emphasis on the use of women and girls as the primary victims. That emphasis prevents a more comprehensive understanding that also should include men and boys.

Criminals, Cops, and Politicians: Dynamics of Drug Violence

▼ Violence is commonly viewed as inherent to the drug
trade. Yet, there is dramatic variation in patterns of drug
violence across and within countries similarly afflicted by drug
trafficking. What explains this variation?
This dissertation makes two novel contributions to explain
drug violence. First, it introduces a crucial dimension of
violence, its visibility. Visibility refers to instances where
traffickers publicly expose violence or claim responsibility for
their attacks. By assessing visibility, I uncover patterns that
could not be seen by looking at the frequency of violence only.
Second, the dissertation advances a political economy framework
that does not treat drug violence as simply reflecting state
weakness. I argue that the interaction between two critical
variables, the cohesion of the state security apparatus, and the
competition in the illegal market, determines the incentives and
opportunities of traffickers to employ violence.
The dissertation systematically compares five cities where
major
trafficking organizations have operated for over four
decades: Cali and Medellin in Colombia, and Ciudad Juárez,
Culiacán, and Tijuana in Mexico. Drawing on extensive fieldwork,
175 interviews, and an original dataset on drug violence, I show
that the frequency of violence increases as the illegal market
shifts from monopolistic to competitive because illegal firms drive
out competitors by using force against them. The visibility of
violence increases as the state security apparatus shifts from
cohesive to fragmented, because cohesion enables local authorities
to make a credible commitment either to protect or, alternatively,
to persecute criminals. When the illegal market is competitive,
criminals may deploy violence, but they simultaneously decide,
depending on the conditions of the state security apparatus,
whether violence should be visible, or should rather be kept
hidden.
The type of armed coercion criminals employ, and
specifically, whether violence is "insourced" (that is, vertically
integrated within the criminal organization) or "outsourced" (that
is, contracted out to youth gangs) also impacts drug violence. I
find that when criminals outsource, illicit markets experience
extreme spikes of violence.
By unpacking drug violence, and introducing an
often-overlooked political logic into its study, this dissertation
contributes to research on armed conflicts and illicit
markets.

▼ Currently migration and migration related topics have a prominent place in the discipline of anthropology. Among a range of topics, anthropologists are involved in the study of such areas as migration and identities, religion, family and kinship, remittances, development, and hometown associations. The current study is one of such anthropological endeavors made to understand the ever increasing phenomenon of human
trafficking in Ethiopia.
Trafficking in persons is an illicit trade in living human beings, where people are recruited in their country of origin and transported to destination countries for the purposes of different exploitations.
The research is conducted in Metema town, one of the prominent transit places in Ethiopia which used to traffic a significant number of Ethiopian migrants to the Sudan. Understanding the root causes of
trafficking, depicting the multifaceted challenges being faced by trafficked persons and writing an anthropological account of human
trafficking in Ethiopia were the major objectives of the study. To accomplish the above objectives the study collected primary and qualitative data from different informants in Metema town by employing such qualitative data collection techniques as an interview, focus group discussions and observation. A total number of 20 informants were participated in the study as informants.
Human
trafficking is one form of migration, and migration is a response made by persons to cope up with different economic, socio-cultural, and political crises. The findings of the study showed that such economic condition as poverty and a desire to improve one‟s economic condition coupled with lack of employment and low payment for domestic works made many young Ethiopians to look for opportunities in a foreign land and to end up in
trafficking. Besides poor economic conditions the study also identifies and discuses other socio-cultural and politico-legal issues as causes of
trafficking in Ethiopia. Trafficked persons faced multifaceted problems not only in the destination counties, but also in the transit places and in the journey made to reach the destination country. The study also found out that trafficked persons experience different problems before reaching the destination country, the Sudan. In their way to the destination country trafficked persons are raped, beaten, abused, and ripped of their rights both in the transit town and in the desert route.

▼ In recent years, Ghana has become a major transshipment point of illicit drugs. This has attracted
both domestic and global attention. The government of Ghana has instituted various approaches
to dismantle the illicit drug industry, but has seen only marginal success. One strategy that has
emerged as an effective pathway to tackling the drug trafficking menace is cooperation
between/among countries. Due to the transnational nature of drug trafficking, various countries
have explored collaborative strategies to combat drug trafficking. While the Ghana-UK
collaboration called Operation West Bridge has existed for over a decade, very little is known
about the extent to which that collaborative effort has helped to address drug trafficking
particularly in Ghana. Following a thorough analysis of the data obtained from both primary and
secondary sources, this study has established that the Operation West Bridge has chalked some
successes and there is need to consolidate the gains made. Arrests and drug seizures have
increased significantly since the inception of the collaboration. Using cooperation as theoretical
framework, the study has also revealed that there exists an unequal relationship in the
collaborative agreement. Notably, Ghanaian officials (NACOB) have no access to UK Airports
but other hand; West Bridge officials have unfettered access to Airports in Ghana. Also, the
collaboration is not holistic enough to serve the interest of both parties, as it looks as though it
serves more the interest of British than their Ghanaian collaborators. The study further argues,
among others, that the rise in drug trafficking is also a function of undue intermeddling in the
work of state security agencies.

▼ This study examined and analysed human
trafficking as a
security issue using South Africa and Mozambique as country case
studies. Information gathered through documentary analysis
methodology is relied upon to develop a conceptual framework of
human
trafficking and security. The link between
trafficking and
security is evaluated based on the conceptualisation of
trafficking
in the Palermo Protocol as well as the criteria for declaring
social phenomena security threats, as articulated by the UN and
several scholars. Through global and national overviews of human
trafficking, its patterns, extent and enabling conditions are
identified and analysed. In South Africa and Mozambique, human
trafficking has domestic and international dimensions and is
facilitated by several factors. However, factors facilitating
domestic
trafficking do not necessarily facilitate international
trafficking in South Africa. The opposite is however, the case in
the Mozambican context. An analysis of global, regional, and
national counter
trafficking measures, shows that the national
security implications of human
trafficking are not explicitly
addressed.
Trafficking involves national border violations;
organised crime; corruption, and physical violence which have
implications for security at all levels. Consequently,
recommendations are made for the explicit securitisation of
trafficking as well as the demonstration of sufficient political
will to combat it. Regional and international co-operation is also
considered necessary to combat
trafficking, as well as prosecution
of offenders and the introduction of poverty alleviating
measures.

▼ At the apex of the slave trade, an estimated 20,000
lives were uprooted yearly from Africa. While the African slave
trade has ended, involuntary servitude has not. Human trafficking
is a form of modern-day slavery that, while mainly hidden from the
public eye, numerically rivals antebellum slavery. Anti-trafficking
efforts have been adopted globally to curb this growing phenomenon,
yet many international communities have failed to put these
initiatives into practice. To this end, the U.S. Department of
State implemented the Trafficking in Persons Report to monitor and
increase anti-trafficking efforts worldwide. The current study
employs an interrupted time-series design to determine the efficacy
of this policy initiative. The research also identifies predictors
of anti-trafficking initiatives and U.S. targeted grants to foster
an evidence-based approach to fund efforts that reduce the
trafficking in persons. Limitations and policy implications are
discussed.

▼ Globally, human trafficking remains a significant issue that troubles all actors in the international sytem. This business of human trade entails the conscription, transport, harbouring and exploitation of persons and prevails because of the substantial profit they yield. Worldwide women constitute about 71 per cent of trafficked victims, and in Africa, they make up 55 per cent of these victims. The principal form of exploiting these women is sexually, and forced labour is next in ranking. In society’s socio-economic and political transformation, technology has become a compelling force. With the growth in technological innovation, the revolution of the world into a single unit has intensified. Anchored on the concept of globalization and the study sought to assess the two-dimensional role played by communication technology in the trafficking of women in Ghana. In evaluating this, the communication technology tools employed by traffickers during the various stages of trafficking was explored using the Action-Means-Purpose model; also an analysis of whether the existing counter-measures have been successful in addressing trafficking in Ghana was done using preventive measures (prosecutions and awareness) and security and collaboration as the benchmarks; finally the study explored how communication technology can be used to counter human trafficking in Ghana. A critical qualitative analysis of both primary and secondary data formed the basis of the study’s conclusions. The approach used to gather primary data was via face-to-face semi structured interviews with purposely selected informants from anti-trafficking agencies and people with lived experience. The study found that despite government’s efforts to counter-trafficking, the clandestine and enhanced platform communication technology provides for traffickers has made the eradication process quite cumbersome. However, the government has leveraged on this same resource to help fight the menace. The study recommends that tools of communication technology such as social media should be utilized efficiently to fight trafficking of women and actors like NGO’s, tech-companies and religious leaders in Ghana should also tap into the communication technology resource to contribute to counter-human trafficking.

▼ There has been a flurry of legislative action at the international and regional levels to address the global problem of trafficking in persons, which victimises epidemic-proportions of individuals and generates one of the largest proceeds of organised crime. The harmonisation of national legal responses based on minimum standards around prevention, prosecution, and protection as espoused by those international and regional instruments is a prerequisite for effective and wide cooperation among countries of origin, transit, and destination. However, the reluctance of states to lift to the lofty heights of international consensus the contentious policy issues surrounding trafficking, including prostitution, has resulted in the adoption of rather ambiguous anti-trafficking norms and obligations, which allow states to individually determine what constitutes 'trafficking in persons' within their own jurisdictions. The subsequent divergence in national responses reveals that legal harmonisation has not taken place. The mechanisms of enforcement, which attach directly or indirectly to those international and regional instruments, therefore, have the formidable task of assisting states in the implementation of the substantive content of anti-trafficking norms and obligations through their monitoring and reporting mandates. However, their work remains a neglected area of academic research, compared to writings on the ambiguity of the international anti-trafficking framework. The challenge to international regulation of the trafficking problem, as identified in this thesis, relates on a fundamental level to the systemic limitations of the formal processes of law based on state consent and respect for the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity. Through a comparative legal analysis of international and European legal responses to sex trafficking in women, this thesis illuminates the main systemic challenges to combating trafficking in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Finland, the Netherlands, Romania, and Sweden, and how the work of those enforcement mechanisms remedies some of those challenges.

▼ This dissertation uses discourse theory to understand anti-trafficking activism. A very specific discourse called Human Trafficking Discourse (HTD) depicts the problem of human trafficking as primarily sex trafficking and narrows the victims to women and children. This narrowing is due to an epistemic bedrock of patriarchal gender ideals which infuse the way activists, policy makers and the general public communicate about human trafficking. By first analyzing a series of speeches at the United Nations, I show how HTD is used strategically by international feminists as well as other high level policy makers. HTD, and discourse more generally, is not only words, however, so I follow HTD into a safe house for trafficked women where HTD disappears. Instead, the house relies on a discourse of Commercial Sexual Exploitation (CSE) linked with Catholicism and poverty management strategies. Like HTD, CSE relies on the same bedrock of traditional gender ideals. This reliance on traditional gender does not fit the reality of residents' lives, however. HTD, while it disappears in the house, reappears when the development committee seeks funding from the general public to maintain the house. HTD is highly present at the first gala the committee planned, and the presence of former residents of the house at the gala negated the tropes upon which HTD relies. Additionally, the founders themselves struggle against the money-making potential of HTD and remaining true to their project based on CSE. I conclude with three points. Though I originally asserted that HTD narrows "the victim" to women and children as distinct categories, based on my observations at the House's gala, in reality I find that HTD narrows "victims" to young, childlike women. Second, HTD should not be a strategy for feminist activism aimed at supporting trafficked women or women in sex work. Last, the concept of episteme is woefully under-utilized in discourse theory. It is through greater understanding of shared epistemic roots of various, sometimes seemingly contradictory discourses, that the power relations of society can be better identified, analyzed and altered.

▼ This thesis addresses how to combat the offence of human trafficking, with particular emphasis on the development of trafficked victims' rights, their protection and traffickers' convictions. The study analysed legal responses to human trafficking at three levels: international, regional, and national; identifying it as a threefold phenomenon, involving criminal law and human rights. The main purpose was to critically analyse United Arab Emirates legislation against the offence of trafficking, and compare it with United Kingdom legislation. The study comprises five chapters, proceeding from the general background of the phenomenon to the modification of the framework for convicting traffickers in the UAE system. The actual application of criminal law relating to the trafficking offence in the UAE and UK was investigated through case law, as was the protection extended to victims of trafficking. From the literature review, it was discovered that human trafficking is a multi-faceted problem; thus, a comprehensive approach to tackle it is needed. The thesis concludes that, although the UAE and UK have adopted/amended their anti-trafficking legislation, they have yet to create an effective protection framework for its victims. In particular, UAE law fails to convict those who commit the trafficking offence in the period before the exploitation has taken place. This thesis calls for an amendment to UAE law, moving toward development of the conviction issue, by adopting the principle of presumed exploitation or the principle of probable (belief) exploitation.

▼ Sex
trafficking is a social problem that affects every country in the world. The demand for sex workers is growing and it is becoming increasingly easier to traffic women and children within and across borders throughout the world. This study examines the socialization of men towards sex within societies that influences this increase in demand for sex-slave
trafficking and has brought forth possibilities in which social workers might work to prevent the occurrence of sex
trafficking. It highlights these possibilities in the three levels of practice within social work: micro, mezzo, and macro. Emphasis is placed on what has been done to address the demand as well as what needs to be further focused on.

▼ Studies using the pluripotent embryonic carcinoma cell line, P19, as a retinoic acid (RA)-responsive model system have been instrumental towards our understanding of the RA-dependent signaling pathways in development and homeostasis. Grp1-associated scaffold protein (GRASP; also known as Tamalin) was first identified by our group, as a gene robustly induced by RA treatment in P19 cells. GRASP was reported to influence the cell-surface expression of interacting membrane receptors in vitro albeit by an unknown mechanism. Furthermore, the in vivo role of GRASP is poorly understood. Mice with a germline deletion of Grasp (GRASP-/-) do not exhibit any gross morphological, behavioral or sexual deficits and exhibit mild, altered sensitivities to morphine and cocaine administration. The goals of our studies herein were to investigate the mechanistic details of GRASP for the role in
trafficking and cell-surface, localization of membrane receptors in vitro and the role of GRASP in vivo.
Previously, our group had identified a strong interaction of GRASP with Grp1, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the small G protein, Arf6. In this study we show GRASP localizes in intracellular recycling endosomal compartment(s), recruits Grp1 to these structures, and facilitates activation of Arf6. Activation of Arf6 regulates key aspects of vesicular
trafficking, actin reorganization and cellular migration. Furthermore, we show that GRASP preferentially regulates intracellular membrane
trafficking by the Arf6-dependent/clathrin-independent pathway.
We have shown that GRASP is expressed in the adult murine skin. Our studies demonstrate a robust induction of GRASP transcripts in murine dermis and epidermis following exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays. We also report the generation of novel mice with germline deletion of Grasp (GRASP-/-), that exhibit altered proliferative and apoptotic responses to UV exposure. Ongoing investigations suggest that the observed phenotypes of GRASP-/- mice after UV exposure maybe due to the dysregulation of the subcellular localization of the tumor suppressor protein, p53.
Taken together, our in vitro and in vivo approaches have provided new insight in the role of GRASP as scaffold protein that regulates intracellular
trafficking pathways.

▼ The research undertaken during the course of this
thesis is an exploratory study of the characteristics of
individuals convicted for human
trafficking offences between 2003
and 2008 in the UK. This thesis provides a unique contribution to
criminology by developing the understanding of those convicted for
these offences and the policy procedures that operate to process
these cases. The data comprises documentary sources in the form of
pre-sentence reports and assessments, interview data from
interviews with experts involved in processing human
trafficking
cases through the criminal justice system and quantitative data in
the form of actuarial assessments of this group of offenders. The
data is analysed within an interpretative policy framework which
views the data not just as a social construction but as a result of
particular features of policy-making in this area. The argument
developed in this thesis is that there is a globally reinforced
paradigm which focuses on a certain type of
trafficking and has
resulted in the conviction of a group of individuals with some
collective characteristics.The primary contributions of this
research can be drawn together under three themes; developing the
knowledge regarding people convicted for human
trafficking
offences, understanding the role of the migration journey in terms
of pathways into this offending and the implications of this for
policy and the historical continuity of these themes. The use of
the terms manager and worker, as opposed to trafficker and victim,
allow for a more nuanced understanding of these findings and permit
a degree of flexibility between the actors involved. This research
demonstrates that failing to understand those people convicted for
these offences results in a distorted understanding of the activity
as a whole and how the involvement fits within wider issues of
migration, structural inequality and gender. The findings indicate
that migration processes and the status of the migrant operate to
limit opportunity. Within this process migrants make a series of
decisions and links with others through their networks which forms
part of their pathway into this offending. Accounting for the
pathways into these offences must build on the push/pull factors in
order to fully appreciate the mechanisms behind individual
migration. These findings confirm a historical continuity of the
dominant themes in this field. The findings and future work in this
area must be understood outside of the dichotomies imposed by the
historical paradigms by considering the impact of the global
reinforcement of policy issues and the complex interplays of power
operating between all actors involved in this
activity.

▼ Globalization has enhanced the interconnectedness and interdependence of states. No state can solely depend on itself, globalization as a phenomenon however has both positive and negative sides. One of such negatives is the intensification of transnational crimes such as human trafficking. Human trafficking poses serious threats to developing countries like Ghana. This study therefore examines the security implications of human trafficking in African countries using Ghana as a case study. The study also examines some of the measures that have been adopted by successive governments and civil societies to fight human trafficking in Ghana and the challenges faced in the fight against the menace. Analysis of both primary and secondary data shows that human trafficking has very serious security implications for the individual and the state. Human trafficking specifically for the purpose of sexual exploitation leads to the spread of diseases such as HIV/AIDS. Human trafficking is also associated with other serious crimes such as terrorism, money laundering and drug trafficking. The study further reveals that Ghana has put in place measures in the form of laws and institutions to alleviate human trafficking. Despite these efforts, the work further reveals that the fight against human trafficking has been marred with some challenges that frustrate the efforts of the various stakeholders in countering the activity in Ghana.

▼ Despite the vast amount of effort and resources directed at altering human trafficking, this criminal activity continues to flourish in our global society. Individuals and communities are being destroyed by this illicit global industry that just like a disease is affecting every nation and country. This study presents and highlights a conceptual framework to consider the complicated legal, social and economic factors of human trafficking. This thesis analyzes in depth the legal aspect of trafficking in persons in Albania, and how weak legislation and ineffective government interventions have the tendency to promote such illegal activity. It provides an analysis of domestic and international law implemented to alter such activity and discusses why they remain ineffective when confronted with this phenomenon. Utilizing an ethical-philosophical approach, this study explores essential concepts such as; legislation, social and political philosophies and economy, which need to be taken into consideration when we discuss the complex topic of human trafficking. Interviews with various participants have further reinforced this conceptual framework that human trafficking in Albania is a result of a combination of many factors.

▼ The objectives of the study were to examine causes of child trafficking, identify current strategies and interventions being used to fight child trafficking and what interventions and strategies stakeholders recommend to address child trafficking.
Eight key informant interviewers and discussants were purposively sampled. Qualitative data were obtained using one on one interviews and focus group discussion that run between 40 and 170 minutes. The interviews were audio taped, transcribed and analyzed thematically informed by the economic disparity theory and the victim theory.
Respondent expressed economic, social and cultural causes of child trafficking. These causes were informed by institutional experiences through efforts to stop child trafficking. Current interventions focused on legal, economic and cultural interventions. Stakeholders recommended institutional amendment, economic and other socio-cultural interventions based on challenges that they encountered fighting child trafficking. Economic causes of child trafficking were the major cause of child trafficking. The economic disparity theory was the most dominant theory that explained the causes of child trafficking. The victim and economic theories shaped most of the interventions that are currently being used to tackle child trafficking. Recommendations prescribe that intervention be applied through a framework that combines cultural beliefs and practices with legal components of child trafficking.

▼ In November of 2000, Canada proclaimed its commitment to prevent, suppress and punish those involved in the
trafficking of persons. This research focuses on Canada-based inter-agency anti-
trafficking coalitions who focus on responding to human
trafficking. Data was collected in the form of a participant-observation study at a three-day conference held in South-western Ontario during the summer of 2015, where seven presentations were provided from four Ontario community coalitions and three provincial approaches from Western Canada regarding their approach to respond to human
trafficking. A thematic analysis was conducted to examine each coalition’s approach in responding to human
trafficking, with a particular focus on their work against sex
trafficking. The secondary goal of this analysis was to compare the approaches used at the community versus provincial levels in Canada. The findings of this research demonstrate that through valued partnerships, Ontario community coalitions work to protect
trafficking victims, prevent further instances of
trafficking and prosecute traffickers. Lastly, this research demonstrated that community coalitions and provincial models are largely complimentary when responding to human
trafficking. In addition to these findings, this research provides a conceptual framework for evaluating community and provincial anti-
trafficking approaches to respond to human
trafficking.

▼ TBC1D1 and TBC1D4 are Rab-GTPase Activating Proteins (Rab-GAPs) expressed in insulin-responsive tissues. Both proteins are involved in mechanisms which regulate basal levels of glucose transport and have been identified as targets of insulin and AMP-dependant kinase (AMPK) signalling pathways, which regulate GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane in muscle. We have characterised the C2C12 muscle cell model retrovirally expressing HA-epitope tagged GLUT4 in order to investigate how distinct signalling pathways regulate GLUT4 trafficking. Insulin-stimulation and treatment with the AMPK-activator (AICAR) increased the levels of GLUT4 at the plasma membrane by two-fold in C2C12 myotubes. Insulin-stimulation and activation of AMPK mobilised GLUT4 in to the actively cycling pool. However, our data revealed that insulin-stimulation or AMPK activation resulted in distinct effects on GLUT4 trafficking parameters at steady-state. Insulin increased GLUT4 exocytosis (kex) of this cycling pool. Activation of AMPK inhibited GLUT4 internalisation (ken). The combined effect of insulin-stimulation and AMPK-activation was synergistic and led to increased GLUT4 cell surface levels above those obtained with either treatment alone. Insulin-stimulation and AMPK activation in combination resulted in a partially additive effect on the size of the actively recycling GLUT4 pool and further enhanced kex of this cycling pool. Kinetic studies were performed to measure the effect of TBC1D1 and TBC1D4 knockdown on GLUT4 trafficking in C2C12 myotubes. siRNA-mediated knockdown of TBC1D4 did not affect the basal levels of cell surface GLUT4. Knockdown of TBC1D1 increased cell surface levels of GLUT4 in basal and in insulin-stimulated C2C12 myotubes. The knockdown increased the release of GLUT4 in to the actively recycling pool. By contrast TBC1D1 knockdown did not change the levels of GLUT4 at the plasma membrane that occur in the presence of the AMPK-activator (AICAR). Our results support a model whereby TBC1D1 inactivation by signalling-dependant phosphorylation is required for GLUT4 translocation, but with insulin and AICAR having separate and distinguishable effects on the released GLUT4.

▼ This qualitative study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Missouri Sheriff's Association Victim Advocacy Program in rehabilitating human
trafficking survivors. The conceptual framework for this study includes betrayal trauma theory and, more specifically, institutional betrayal. Betrayal trauma theory expounds on the posttraumatic effects of trauma on persons when betrayal occurs in an attachment relationship; the concept of institutional betrayal builds on this theory and outlines the significance of an institution betraying an individual who trusts or depends upon that institution just as they would another person (Parnitzke, Smith, and Freyd, 2014). Data collected from the one-on-one interviews will provide a more thorough understanding of human
trafficking survivors and will be coded for consistencies and emerging themes in terms of trauma, betrayal, and after care. The aftermath survivors experience will be examined through the lens of institutional betrayal, specifically focusing on the services provided by the Victim Advocacy Program. This data will increase understanding of human
trafficking, the impact of secondary trauma of betrayal, and why effective after care services are crucial.

▼ Human
trafficking often affects people who are marginalised, disadvantaged, isolated, unprotected or in desperate situations. Disempowerment, social and political exclusion and economic vulnerability are results of policies and practices that marginalize groups of people and make them particularly vulnerable to being trafficked. Natural disasters, conflict and political turmoil weaken already tenuous protection measures. However, individuals are vulnerable to being trafficked not only because of conditions in their countries of origin. The allure of opportunity, the relentless demand for cheap and inexpensive goods and services and the expectation of reliable income also play a role in driving people into potentially risky situations where they can be exposed to human
trafficking and exploitation.
Conflict creates a unique set of vulnerability factors that must be addressed in any discussion on the issue of human
trafficking in conflict situations. The disruption of community life, along with its protective framework, and the resulting displacement create extreme vulnerability to human
trafficking and exploitation.
Trafficking in conflict situations is a
subject on which little research has been done, and which is seldom addressed in counter-
trafficking initiatives. Significantly, the proliferation of conflicts around the world, from the Middle East, South East Asia to Africa, which largely affect civilians and result in unprecedented numbers of displaced people and refugees, thus, human
trafficking and exploitation would appear as unintended consequences. In conflict settings such as the Union of Burma1, human
trafficking flourishes. Therefore, failure to realise and address these issues can result in the permanent entrenchment of this phenomenon. Accordingly, this research aims to build insights into the nexus between conflict and human
trafficking to stakeholders involved in counter-
trafficking, so that they can put forward and develop solutions best suited to the conditions in conflict situations. The study explores the relationship between armed conflict and human
trafficking using the Union of Burma as a case study.

▼ Although the exploitation of people has existed for
centuries, human
trafficking has only recently emerged as an
offense that merits special legal intervention. This recognition is
due, in part, to a growing movement that has labeled
trafficking as
a social problem that requires a collective response. Despite
efforts to better understand and prevent these crimes, the
clandestine nature of human
trafficking makes it difficult to
measure and draw a reliable portrait of offenders and their
victims. In this respect, scientific research on this topic is
limited. Thus, the purpose of this dissertation is to use an
innovative method to expand knowledge about the nature of human
trafficking in the United States.The current dissertation applies
content analysis methods to create a rich database that informs
characteristics on victims, offenders, and offenses. To facilitate
this goal, human
trafficking incidents from 32 independent
newspapers, located in 22 of the largest cities across the United
States, were reviewed from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2016.
Identified cases that reported an arrest, conviction, or sentencing
for a
trafficking-related crime were then subjected to supplemental
searches to gather all publicly available information on these
events. Seven domains were recorded and analyzed: (1) identifiers;
(2) newspaper details; (3) locations of cases; (4) nature of the
crime; (5) victim characteristics; (6) offender characteristics;
and (7) trial characteristics and offender outcomes. Using these
methods, 361 cases were identified and coded for the final
analysis. There were 303 sex
trafficking cases, 39 labor
trafficking cases, and 19 sex-and-labor
trafficking cases.The
analysis illuminated clear patterns regarding sex and labor
trafficking offenses. In particular, sex
trafficking cases tended
to involve
trafficking offenses without any smuggling component,
domestic victims, and relatively few victims per case. Reports
about sex traffickers suggested that they were in their early
adulthood when they were first arrested for their crimes. A
majority of sex traffickers were also Black or Hispanic and U.S.
citizens. The victims of sex
trafficking were relatively young and
often Hispanic. The duration of sex
trafficking was approximately
six months. Labor
trafficking, however, tended to involve smuggling
and
trafficking offenses, foreign national victims, and a large
number of victims per case. Labor traffickers were in their early
40s and were frequently Hispanic or Asian. Many traffickers were
also foreign nationals. The victims of labor
trafficking were
commonly adults in their 20s and Asian; they were often trafficked
for more than two years.Taken together, these findings revealed
that
trafficking offenses were characterized by unique patterns.
The results were then contextualized within existing opportunity
models (lifestyle-routine activities theory and target congruence
theory) to explain
trafficking events. Although both frameworks
were informative, the target congruence perspective could be

▼ Though the international community has attempted to carry out significant efforts to combat human
trafficking, this form of modern day slavery continues to thrive. Human
trafficking is the fastest growing illegal enterprise and its profitability has progressed to a level comparable to that of the international trade in illicit weapons and drugs. The current major international anti-human
trafficking efforts ignore the disparity in levels of governance among nations, particularly those of Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union in implementing these measures. This inability to acknowledge the importance of governance coupled with the promotion of a ???one size fits all??? approach to combating human
trafficking has impeded progress in the fight against the
trafficking of human beings. This thesis supports the notion that human
trafficking can be effectively combated through the fundamental establishment of good governance in those nations where it is lacking.
The data for this study is both quantitative and qualitative and is comprised of secondary sources in the form of research reports conducted by the World Bank, U.S. Department of State and the United Nations. Additional sources of secondary data include academic research on human
trafficking.
There is evidence that nations with higher levels of governance implement a greater extent of anti-human
trafficking efforts than nations with lower levels of governance.

▼ Human trafficking impacts sufferers on a global scale with serious and lifelong health issues associated with the illegal practice. Interventions for these victims’ extensive health issues must ignite healthcare staff education and expert clinical interventions. Due to these health problems, healthcare staff function on the front lines to identify and help trafficked persons. This study focused on the scope of trafficking and health staff awareness, identification strategies to help recognize trafficked persons, techniques for interviewing, best practice strategies for intervention and referral, and new coding guidelines. During the intervention, health staff received a human trafficking pre-education questionnaire, a research supported education training intervention, and a post-intervention questionnaire. Data on post-education intervention referrals was also completed to discern impact of education on trafficking recognition and resource support. Qualities examined for ease and efficacy included the education intervention strategy, utilization of resource support, reported issues with trafficking recognition, and increase or decrease of staff confidence within interactions. Questionnaire results demonstrated increases for questions one through four following the educational intervention. Post-intervention data showed some recognition of potential human trafficking persons particularly related to mental health. Project results were consistent with other research recommendations. Continued human trafficking encounters in health systems necessitates continued research into best education, interviewing, intervention, and post-care methods.

▼ Recognized as the third largest criminal industry in the world, human
trafficking of children is one of the most profitable illegal businesses worldwide. For decades, efforts to stop this form of modern-day slavery have concentrated on apprehending perpetrators rather than understanding the social and psychological needs of the victims. Using a mixed methods design, this study proposes to portray the phenomenon of human
trafficking by exploring child human
trafficking in Chile from an ecological theory framework. The primary methods used in this formative study were in depth semi-structured interviews with experts who have worked with child victims of human
trafficking and other at risk children in Chile, observations of five Chilean cities (Santiago de Chile, Valparaiso, San Antonio, Coquimbo and La Serena) where the vulnerable children were located, and questionnaires to directors of child victim centers from these five cities to assess demographic characteristics and other risk factors of children vulnerable to human
trafficking. Results shows that the most important factors were sexual abuse history (73%), maltreatment and neglect (70%; 68%), running away from home, lack of awareness by Chilean institutions, transgenerational vulnerability and chaotic family dynamics.

▼ This research is aimed at evaluating the adequacy and effectiveness of the legal framework dealing with human
trafficking in South Africa. To achieve this purpose, a comprehensive diachronic as well as contemporary overview of the punishment and prevention of human
trafficking in South Africa as well as in the legal systems of the US, Germany and Nigeria is provided.
An overview of the history of slavery and an analysis of the modern conceptualisation of human
trafficking indicate that human
trafficking is a highly complex concept, and that there are various approaches to the understanding of the concept of human
trafficking. There are various definitions of
trafficking found in international instruments of which the most important has been identified as that contained in the Palermo Protocol. The definitions vary also because
trafficking is closely related to the phenomena of migration, slavery and smuggling of humans. The study further identifies some significant root causes of
trafficking generally, as well as specific, to the four selected regions. It was found that in South Africa – similar to the history of slavery in the jurisdictions of the US, Germany and Nigeria – colonisation and the institution of slavery and, more particularly in South Africa, the legacy of the apartheid regime has had an impact on modern human
trafficking.
The research concedes that although common-law crimes, statutes and transitional legislation can be utilized to challenge some
trafficking elements, these offences are not comprehensive enough to amply deal with the crime’s complexities and provide only a fragmented approach to combating the crime. The study shows that South Africa needs to adopt specific and comprehensive anti-
trafficking legislation that is based essentially on the provisions of the Palermo Protocol, that is, the draft TIP Bill. Although the Bill is a major improvement on the provisions in the Palermo Protocol as well as on certain aspects of the anti-
trafficking legislation in the US, Germany and Nigeria, the Bill can still be improved, especially with regard to more effective victim assistance and the combating of local-specific vulnerability factors. Anti-
trafficking efforts undertaken in the US, Germany and Nigeria which may be of value also for the adoption of anti-
trafficking legislation, law enforcement and other strategies in South Africa, are further identified.
iv
The research further establishes also that international, regional and sub-regional instruments on
trafficking and related aspects of
trafficking provide guidelines for developing effective strategies to deal with
trafficking within the region. The counter-
trafficking strategies as found in treaties (including conventions), protocols, declarations and resolutions – those focussing specifically on combating
trafficking and those with a human-rights focus – oblige states to prosecute traffickers, protect people vulnerable to
trafficking as well as those already trafficked and create structures for prevention. Regional instruments specifically…

▼ In the late 1990s, the United States started pressuring other countries to combat human trafficking. Since 2001, the State Department has been evaluating the anti-trafficking efforts of governments around the world. The analysis is published annually in the Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report, which has become the cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy on this issue. Governments whose efforts are deemed "insignificant" may be subject to economic and diplomatic sanctions by the U.S. government. Through analysis of media coverage, government proceedings, and interviews with select stakeholders, this study explores the ways in which the U.S. system of unilateral pressure influenced the anti-trafficking policies of Israel, the Philippines, and Thailand.; Findings show that, for U.S. anti-trafficking pressure to be successful, it had to be combined with pressure "from below" by civil society organizations. These organizations leveraged U.S. pressure to further their own agenda vis-à-vis their governments. This study further reveals that the domestic policymaking process is highly susceptible to pressure by other countries, particularly during the agenda setting phase. Specifically, the U.S. TIP Report has a demonstrated capability to forcibly open policy windows, to act as a policy transfer agent, and to generally accelerate the socialization of states into compliance with international norms. However, U.S. pressure also has unintended consequences, particularly in the form of anti-trafficking policies that violate human rights and harm the people they purport to protect.
