Abstract

The focus of this paper is on the trafficking of women from Eastern Europe and the Baltic states to the United Kingdom, for the purpose of sexual exploitation. It would look at what human trafficking is and how it differs from human smuggling by examining the five different stages of trafficking. There would be an examination of the legislation that is currently in place to try to prevent, suppress and punish trafficking, with attention paid to the United Nation Convention on Human Trafficking. The extent of the Britain trafficking markets would be examined and the question of who the victims are would be explored and the reasons why these women are being trafficked. The traffickers would also be examined, looking at who they are and where they come from. The final part of this paper would then examine whether or not criminological perspectives can be used to explain human trafficking with particular reference to strain theory.
