Abstract

Human trafficking is a global problem with challenges for societies and those agencies tasked with the protection of the public. Much human trafficking is in the form of sex or labor trafficking with over 22,000 cases reported in the United States alone in 2019. Although prevalent in many industries, the event industry is particularly vulnerable to human trafficking with tourism destinations and the major events they host prone to such activity. This exploratory study, underpinned by collaboration theory, adopts a qualitative approach by interviewing stakeholders in the USA to identify the causes, scale, reach, and impact of human trafficking in the context of major events. The study then identifies those initiatives designed and implemented to help mitigate the occurrences of human trafficking activity and minimize the damage to individuals and negative reputation for those major events caught up in this modern-day criminality.

减轻重大活动中人口贩运的规模、范围和影响:北美视角

人口贩运是一个全球性问题，对社会和负责保护公众的机构构成挑战。许多人口贩运都是以性贩运或劳动力贩运的形式发生的，仅在美国，2019年就报告了2.2万多起案件。虽然在许多行业普遍存在，但活动行业特别容易受到人口贩运的影响，因为旅游目的地及其举办的重大活动容易发生此类活动。本探索性研究以合作理论为基础，采用定性方法，采访美国的利益相关者，以确定重大事件背景下人口贩运的原因、规模、范围和影响。然后，该研究确定了旨在帮助减少人口贩运活动发生并最大限度地减少这种现代犯罪行为对个人和这些重大事件的损害和负面声誉的设计和实施的举措。
