Human Trafficking Investigation

A Practitioner’s Guide to Making the Case

About this book

Everything you need to know to seek justice for victims and accountability for traffickers is in this approachable guide written by seasoned anti-trafficking professionals.

Human Trafficking Investigations: A Practitioner's Guide to Making the Case is a one-of-a-kind practitioner's guide, written by and for people on the front lines in the fight against human trafficking. When you run headlong into the realities of trafficking investigation, this book serves as a convenient reference that you can turn to for guidance in moments of uncertainty and discouragement.

Human trafficking cases can be built, and they can be won. How do we know? We have done it. If you take nothing else from this book, walk away with the certainty that—while complex, frustrating, even agonizing at times—these cases are not impossible. The authors have personally worked and developed trafficking cases, tried them to verdict, and justice has prevailed. Now we want to help you do the same.

This essential casebook distills decades of experience, and the knowledge of a dozen multidisciplinary professionals, to equip law enforcement with the practical skills to:

  • Consistently identify sex and labor trafficking,
  • Prepare cases that will go the distance through trial and appeal,
  • Locate and dismantle trafficking networks,
  • Partner with victims in the criminal justice process, and
  • Recruit and maintain critical allies in the work.

Chapters offer practical solutions to thorny issues including generating leads when victims don't call 911; providing immigration relief for international victims; addressing victims who are also defendants; recognizing and collecting evidence of force, fraud, or coercion; working effectively with partners from different disciplines; and building cases when victims are running from help. Honest, direct, and practical, Human Trafficking Investigations is the definitive implementation guide for investigators intent on developing human trafficking cases that can be tried to a successful conclusion in a court of law.
