Serious Organised Crime Agency Title: UKHTC: A Baseline Assessment on the Nature and Scale of Human Trafficking in 2011 Summary: The UK Human Trafficking Centre has produced an assessment to give an indication of the nature and scale of human trafficking during 2011. This is the first time an attempt has been made to describe the full extent of human trafficking in the UK. The assessment explores the number of potential victims, their country or origin, exploitation types, recruitment techniques and transport methods. Information received by the centre suggests that 2,077 potential victims of human trafficking were identified in the UK, and the two most prevalent exploitation types were sexual and labour. David Dillnutt, Head of the UKHTC, said: “Human trafficking is a complex crime and the true scale of it – and the number of victims – is largely hidden. “What this assessment gives us though, for the first time, is a better understanding of the extent of human trafficking. It aims to inform the UK’s response at a government, law enforcement, and non-governmental organisation level. “Investigating this type of crime is a challenge to us all as victims are often kept locked away and unseen by society. We need the public to help us too and I urge anyone with information on a potential victim of trafficking to share it with the authorities.” The UKHTC provides tactical advice to police forces and other law enforcement agencies, and works with a wide range of partners, including NGOs, to support victims of all forms of trafficking.

Author: Farrall, Stephen Title: Using Ideas Derived from Historical Institutionalism to Illuminate the Long-term Impacts on Crime of 'Thatcherite' Social and Economic Policies Summary: In this working paper, we outline our thinking on a very large and complex undertaking; namely the assessment of the ways in which the Thatcher governments of the 1980s may have had quite unintended consequences on crime via some of the policies which they set about pursuing for quite separate reasons, but which, nevertheless contributed to amongst other things, the upswing in crime in the 1980s. Our thinking is not heavily informed by theories commonly examined by criminologists; instead our thinking about both the causal antecedents of these governments and their approach to re-engineering society, and the causal antecedents of crime are informed by thinking inspired by historical institutionalist scholars writing within political science, and sociological and economic theories of crime causation. We outline historical institutionalism and identify the ways in which it may be of use to ourselves. Details: Sheffield, UK: University of Sheffield, 2014. 44p.
