Abstract

Background While victims' cooperation in Modern Slavery Human Trafficking (MSHT) police operations plays a key role in effectively protecting them, engaging with victims of trafficking becomes highly challenging. Victims of trafficking are often unwilling to cooperate due to reasons (among many others) related to mistrust of authorities, fears of retaliation (to themselves and their families) and, in many cases, for not recognising their victimisation. To enhance empirical understanding of what factors and practices promote effective police engagement with victims of trafficking and provide outcome-oriented recommendations, Dr Laura Pajon (LJMU), in collaboration with Justice and Care, have worked on a funded research project by the British Academy since May 2025, aiming to: map current victim-centred investigative practices in MSHT investigations and identify factors that might be associated with and influence successful engagement with MSHT victims.
