| "Prosecuting
And Adjudicating Trafficking In Persons Cases In Australia: Obstacles
And Opportunities" |
Dr Anne Gallagher |
June 2009: "my work on trafficking has taken place outside
Australia …..an overview of what I have learned about the
prosecution and adjudication of trafficking in persons cases. I
am fairly confident that much of this will not be new to you. Each
country, and each legal system is different and clearly, there is
no one model that works perfectly." |

| Trafficking
in persons as labour exploitation |
Ms Marie Segrave
|
June 2008: "the ‘anti-trafficking’ framework
implemented in Australia reveals the ‘traditional’ nature
of the response that is founded upon a ‘commonsense’
logic of law and order, where it is the domestic legal regime and
the pursuit of prosecutions that remains the primary focus...This
paper argues that it is critical to engage and examine alternative
understandings of and responses to human trafficking, as the existing
response in Australia presents a number of concerns not least of
which is the narrow definition of exploitation and the limited provision
of compensation, support and assistance to victims of trafficking." |
| Prosecuting
trafficking in persons : known issues, emerging responses |
Ms Fiona David
Australian Institute of Criminology |
"Some of the practical issues that may affect trafficking
prosecutions, such as unclear legal frameworks, the transnational
nature of trafficking, and reliance on often traumatised victims
as witnesses who may also be unwilling or unable to participate
in prosecutions". |
