Support for Human Trafficking Victims: New Training and Improved Identification
This act aims to improve support for human trafficking victims by training law enforcement, enhancing victim identification, and developing better data collection methods. Citizens can expect that victims of trafficking will be treated with greater empathy and receive faster assistance, rather than being penalized for crimes resulting from their exploitation. There will also be an increased focus on prosecuting traffickers and ensuring restitution for victims.
Key points
Training for law enforcement and prosecutors to better identify human trafficking victims before arrest.
Support for victim service providers to ensure their safety and provide trauma-informed assistance.
Establishment of an expert working group to develop improved methodologies for collecting human trafficking data in the U.S.
Encouraging states to provide comprehensive care for trafficking victims, including shelter, psychological, and legal aid.
