Human trafficking is one of the fastest and continuously evolving transnational crimes of this century, preceded only slightly by gun and drug trafficking; yet it is projected that human trafficking will soon surpass both unless government and nongovernmental officials throughout the world take immediate, collaborative action to deter and punish traffickers and educate and protect prospective trafficking victims. For that reason, combating human trafficking requires ongoing national and international communication, cooperation, and collaboration, particularly amongst law enforcement leadership across the globe. Only then will law enforcement be able to limit the ability of traffickers to operate freely and help prevent future victims from being trafficked. The primary purpose of drawing international attention to this chapter is in illuminating the challenges of police leadership in combating incidents of transnational human trafficking as well as to propose plausible to assist and support future global leadership and collaboration within and across police agencies.

The article notes that the U.S. approach to maritime enforcement has been a “long-arm” approach ensuring enforcement of U.S. interests spanning oceanic regions.

Lack Of Knowledge

Secondary victimisation during criminal proceedings is a serious risk for victims of trafficking who participate in these proceedings. Psychological consequences of trafficking and pre-existing vulnerabilities make them prone to secondary victimisation. Based on empirical research among trafficking victims, stakeholders and of criminal files, the article provides insights on the psychological consequences of human trafficking and identifies a number of risk factors. These are: lack of identification, lack of safety and trust, not being believed, repetition and intensity of hearings, disrespectful treatment, lack of empathy and lack of knowledge about victim's rights. These factors are discussed and contextualised in the current discourse with the ultimate aim to provide indications on the prevention of secondary victimisation. The article unveils the discrepancy between victims' expectations towards the police to take them out of a trafficking situation, even if they decline assistance and police's perceptions on their ability to intervene only if the victim accepts assistance. This leads to the call for further research in order to answer the question to intervene or not to intervene.

Indonesia is the fourth largest country in the capacity of the population number in the world. As the country with the largest population, various problems often plague the nation of Indonesia. One such problem is the problem of law enforcement and narcotics and drugs cases. Up to now Indonesia is confronted with drug trafficking that is very alarming. Drug crimes are so uncontrolled in social life. It is undeniable that narcotics have been threatening the future of the nation. There have been already many victims even until some of them dies. Drug abuse has reached very dangerous phase. There is no other way, government and officials must immediately take a serious and earnest step. It is a pity that the nation's children must always be the victims of drug distribution by the syndicate. Laws must be enforced as fairly as possible. Because the law is the supreme commander that must not be defeated by anything.Keywords: role of the judge, crime, drugs

Human trafficking is one of activities that constitute serious violence against human rights, particularly the rights of women and children trafficked. In fact, trafficking has become a universal phenomenon and is considered the enemy of all countries in the world. In Indonesia, women and children are trafficked from one country to another and within the country itself. They are trafficked for domestic work, waiters, entertainers, booked brides, beggars or prostitution. Law enforcement in both national and international levels has been conducted. The laws, nevertheless, cannot effectively overcome the problem of trafficking in women and children

Abstract Most countries in the world have adopted legislation tackling human trafficking and are allocating resources to fighting it. However, the content of such domestic legislation differs from country to country and its enforcement remains a challenge in many cases. In this fragmented landscape, one of the challenges in the enforcement of anti-trafficking legislation is the corruption of anti-trafficking law enforcement authorities. This article focuses on the connection between corruption and human trafficking, and on the intersection between the UN legal frameworks against human trafficking and corruption on this specific issue. The article proceeds in two parts: part 1 presents the factual connection between trafficking and corruption; part 2 analyses the intersection between the two legal frameworks and identifies some areas where there is potential for enhanced coordination.

Actualmente, el fenómeno de la trata de personas tensiona los países del mundo a dirigir sus políticas hacia esta forma de esclavitud moderna, enfatizando la detección, prevención, reparación y protección de las víctimas. En Chile, los escasos estudios existentes respecto a la trata de personas se limitan a las variables descriptivas y geográficas de la caracterización del delito, sin tener en cuenta las variables de acceso, atención y tratamientos de salud en profundidad. Este estudio pretende conocer y describir las características sociodemográficas y el estado de salud de las víctimas de trata de personas en Chile, entre 2012 y el primer semestre de 2017, mediante los ingresos formales a la única casa de protección en Chile. El estudio es cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo y de corte transversal de los registros de las víctimas. Las participantes fueron 43 mujeres víctimas de trata, de 32 años de media y con uno/a o más hijos/ as. Se constata un multidiagnóstico de las víctimas, debido a la cantidad de enfermedades y programas de salud a los que ingresan. Por último, se evidencia una falta de protocolo entre la casa de protección y el sistema de salud, el cual es de vital importancia para definir la calidad de salud de las víctimas de trata de personas. Nowadays, the phenomenon of human trafficking is pressuring countries around the world to direct policies towards this form of modern slavery, emphasizing the detection, prevention, reparation and protection of victims. In Chile, the few existing studies about human trafficking are limited to the descriptive and geographical variables of the crime characterization, without taking into account the variables of access, care and health treatments. This study pretends to know and describe the sociodemographic characteristics and health status of human trafficking victims in Chile, between 2012 and the first half of 2017, considering only the registered admissions into the only human trafficking protection home in Chile. The study is quantitative of a descriptive and cross-sectional nature of the victims’ records. The participants were 43 women victims of trafficking, 32 years old on average and with one or more children. A multidiagnosis of the victims is identified due to the number of diseases and health programs they register into. Finally, there is evidence of a lack of protocol between the protection home and the health system, which is of vital importance to determine the health of the human trafficking victims.
