TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Human trafficking revisited: legal, enforcement and ethnographic narratives on sex trafficking to Western Europe JO - Trends in organized crime A1 - Breuil, Brenda Carina Oude A1 - Siegel, Dina A1 - van Reenen, Piet A1 - Beijer, Annemarieke A1 - Roos, Linda SP - 30 EP - 46 VL - 14 IS - 1 N2 - In this paper we focus on the ways 'victims' and 'perpetrators' are imagined in the narratives on women who have been trafficked to West Europe for sexual exploitation. Three specific domains: international/national law, local law enforcement and ethnographic academic perspective are particularly important as they strongly influence political reaction to trafficking and describe the phenomenon from the perspective of the individuals concerned. In our analysis, an explanation of the diversity of the perceptions in these three domains is provided.
