Training Law Enforcement
Trainer’s teaching guidelines
Learning objectives - Section one
At the end of this section the students will be able to:
Identify the risks to human beings and the strategic risks for a state, in terms of stability and
the future, generated by the development of organized human trafficking
Define and identify what factors exacerbate the problems law enforcement agencies are
confronted with
Define and identify what is the trafficking methodology – victims, traffickers, crimes, modus
operandi
Identify main international legislative options are available in counter trafficking activity
1.2. The Critical Concepts
Trainers should think and identify if there are any country examples of national victim-
based initiatives? If so, this can be introduced by the local training team and used for
exemplification and discussion with the students.
1.3. Trafficking Methodology – An overview
1.3.2. Who are the victims?
Are there any other country examples or statistics to show the dimensions of the THB
phenomenon? If so, they should be introduced by the local training team. Figures may help
students to make a clearer picture of THB in their country.
1.3.4. What are the crimes?
Trainers should look at the country actual situation considering specific counter-trafficking
legislation (see also Legislative compendium ) and use it in training activity.
1.3.6. Criminal Liability
Case Scenario
The point for discussion here is the relevance or otherwise of whether the victims know in
advance of the intention to exploit the females as prostitutes.
In Paragraphs 13 and 14, it is made clear that Cristina had no idea that sexual exploitation
was intended in her case and paragraphs 21 and 23 illustrate the level of exploitation and
abuse of Cristina.
