- Summary
- This study aims at gathering different aspects of the legal situation concerning compensation for trafficked persons in Austria in order to highlight and elaborate possible gaps between theory and practice. Research was based on a methodological approach of qualitative investigation and data analysis due to the fact that the study was less focused on statistic data than on gathering common practices and relating them to theory. In order to include both the level of theory as well as the level of practice, various sets of data had to be collected and gathered. Relevant legal texts were reviewed and theoretically summarized providing a set of data with which to comprehend the level of theory. In order to relate to the practice, legal files were reviewed and documents were analyzed. Documents such as these legal files present a set of data which makes it possible to draw conclusions on how people think and act (Mayring 1999). For the purpose of this study it was expected that an analysis of legal files would answer questions of how payments of compensation for trafficked persons could be claimed in court proceedings. Based on Mayring (1999), this data can be considered especially valuable due to the fact that it does not have to be produced first by scientists, but is non-reactive data and therefore contains less subjective sources of mistakes.
