Summary
The Anti-Human Trafficking Manual for Criminal Justice Practitioners is the product of broadbased expertise gathered in the course of a series of expert group meetings of judges, prosecutors and law enforcement officers who are practitioners in the field of human trafficking. Each of the modules in the Manual is designed to equip criminal justice practitioners to appropriately respond to the challenges of trafficking in persons. The promising practices offered in each module are intended to reveal the complexities of the subject matter, and enable practitioners to apply lessons learned by other practitioners to their own experiences in the field. The modules address each phase of criminal justice response to trafficking in persons, from identification of victims through investigations and prosecutions of traffickers to the protection of victims. Each module is designed to stand alone in meeting the specific needs of the particular phase of criminal justice response it seeks to address. The manual should not be viewed as an academic treatise, but as a practical guide for criminal justice practitioners.
