Title: Review of the Evidence Base on Faith Communities Summary: This report reviews the evidence base relating to the demographic, socio-economic and cultural characteristics of ‘emerging’ faith communities, specifically the Hindu, Muslim and Sikh populations together with the likely future trends within them. The evidence base that was reviewed was selected according to: its relevance to the ODPM’s strategic priorities of Housing Supply and Demand; Decent Places to Live; Tackling Disadvantage; Delivering Better Services; and Promoting the Development of the English Regions, and its bearing on the relationship between faith and other equalities strands in terms of ethnicity, gender, sexuality and disability. This report primarily reviews relevant publications and ‘grey’ literature produced during the past ten years. In some instances, where the work concerned illustrates a more recent development, or where the research concerned was particularly seminal and/or has not been superseded by more up-to-date research, older research and publications are also referred to. In addition, the members of the project team have manipulated and analysed available data sets, also drawing on some of their own primary research. Finally, a number of semi-structured interviews were conducted with key community informants and academic experts in order to inform awareness of the key issues within the evidence base.

Author: Great Britain. 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.
