Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The policy-making process does not end with enactment, but extends to the implementation of laws, including criminal laws. A process, in and of itself, implementation involves interpretation and even overcoming obstacles not anticipated by policymakers. Enacted in 2000 and reauthorized in 2003 and 2005, the U.S. “Trafficking Victims Protection Act” (TVPA) promoted a victim-centered approach that reflects the understanding that the mission of government is to remove trafficking victims from the abuse setting, place them into safe programs or restorative care, and hold the traffickers accountable – prevention, protection, and prosecution. Among other things, TVPA defined trafficking in persons as a crime, expanded the crimes and enhanced the penalties available to federal investigators and prosecutors pursing traffickers, and provided a range of new protections and assistance for trafficking victims who cooperate with law enforcement. This presentation analyzes the implementation of the criminal law provisions of the act. Specifically, it examines the challenges to investigators and prosecutors posed by the implementation of the victim-centered approach and how addressing these challenges affect demands on law enforcement. This analysis will contribute to our understanding not only of the implementation of TVPA, but of common challenges to the implementation of trafficking in persons’ laws globally.
