Topic: Targeting the victims of human trafficking for sexual exploitation in the Netherlands.
Supervisor: Dr. Maria Iouannou.
During my master project I explored the methods used to dominate victims of human trafficking for sexual exploitation in the Netherlands. Also, I investigated whether the background characteristics of the victim had any influence upon the chosen control method(s) by the offender. Lastly, the relationship between the type of prostitution (e.g. window prostitution, escort) and the used control methods was analyzed by using SPSS and HUDAP (to perform Smallest Space Analysis). The data originated from a database of police files of the National Crime Squad (developed by students and researchers, including myself). Please click here for the results.
