Indeed, only a minority of states has adopted mechanisms even to consider the protection of trafficked persons, 12 and these programs generally offer no more than strictly provisional assistance.' The Trafficking Protocol's drafters, moreover, rejected a proposal to require that repatriation of trafficked persons be "voluntary" in favor of a duty on the part of countries of origin to "facilitate and accept" their trafficked citizens back "without undue or unreasonable delay,"' 14 albeit "with due regard for the safety of that person."' 15 Similar inattention to the human dimension of trafficking is said also to be evident in the Trafficking Protocol's failure to move beyond rhetorical support for efforts to address the social and economic phenomena that make people vulnerable to traffickers in the first place.' 6 10. Only one human rights obligation-namely, the duty to provide the victims of trafficking with access to a system to seek compensation-is obligatory. "Each State Party shall ensure that its domestic legal system contains measures that offer victims of trafficking in persons the possibility of obtaining compensation for damage suffered." Trafficking Protocol, supra note 2, art. 6(6) (emphasis added).

In pursuit of justice : Identifying victims within the criminal justice system

This book brings together original empirical and theoretical work examining how digital technologies both create and sustain various forms of gendered violence and provide platforms for resistance and criminal justice intervention. This edited collection is organised around two key themes of facilitation and resistance, with an emphasis through the whole collection on the development of a gendered interrogation of contemporary practices of technologically-enabled or enhanced practices of violence. Addressing a broad range of criminological issues such as intimate partner violence, rape and sexual assault, online sexual harassment, gendered political violence, online culture, cyberbullying, and human trafficking, and including a critical examination of the broader issue of feminist ‘digilantism’ and resistance to online sexual harassment, this book examines the ways in which ...

Introduction: Transforming Borders from Below: Theory and Research from across the Globe

Theoretical Criminology, 2019

Over the past decade a substantial body of criminological research has documented the impact of n... more Over the past decade a substantial body of criminological research has documented the impact of national border regimes on the bodies and lives of many around the globe. Although this research has been crucially important for developing a 'criminology of mobility' (Aas and Bosworth, 2013), there has been a tendency within the extant research to privilege the bordering power of nation-states while framing border crossers as relatively powerless. The aim of this Special Issue is to contribute theory and research to the field of border criminology by starting from a different perspective than much of the work to date. In this project, we prioritize attention to the diverse ways that borders and global processes of bordering are being transformed from below by border crossers and other ordinary people. The articles in this Special Issue examine a variety of places and contexts where migrants are climbing social, economic, political and discursive fences, claiming rights, resisting criminalization and demanding fair and humane treatment, often in collaboration with allies. All of the articles feature sophisticated theoretical insights and useful conceptual tools for examining how and why actions from below transform borders, adding nuance and complexity to the existing criminological literature on borders and mobility. All of the articles also draw on rich empirical research-from across the EU, the USA and the Asia Pacific region-to illuminate strategies and tactics employed by ordinary people to challenge, reimagine and transform borders and bordering. This collection highlights the impermanence of borders. Authors theoretically engage bordering as a performance, as a relational process and as a struggle. Theorizing is informed by empirical analyses of how borders and bordering are created, resisted and transformed in diverse sites around the globe. While borders are often designed to exclude, processes of bordering frequently include opportunities for migrants, employers, non-governmental workers and others to shape the impact and character of bordering in their everyday lives. In this way, the exclusionary laws, policies and practices of nation-states are sometimes 'transformed from below'. The collection begins with a provocative article by Wonders and Jones who seek to reframe how bordering and migration are conceived within criminology. Arguing that bordering must be understood as a tactic for socially constructing difference, they draw

Surely something is better than nothing? The Australian response to the trafficking of women into sexual servitude in Australia

The Australian response to the trafficking of women into sexual servitude in Australia The trafficking of women into sexual servitude in Australia is a complex, predominantly hidden problem of which the true extent and nature is difficult to ascertain and widely contested. The Australian government has recently identified the 'illegal international trade in people' as a 'repugnant trade' that requires a national response (Minister for Justice & Customs 2003). In October 2003 this response was revealed in the form of a four-year whole-of-government $20 million package, the 'Commonwealth Action Plan to Eradicate Trafficking in Persons' [the Anti-Trafficking Package]. Considering the seriousness ofthe issue and the inadequacy of past approaches to trafficking, 1 this whole-of-government package was a welcome development. Since the announcement, however, there has been little critical engagement with the substance of the package. While policy implementation can be a lengthy process, by February 2004 representatives from the Attorney-General's Department (the lead agency with the primary responsibility for the coordination and implementation of the package) stated that 'implementation of the package is now progressing quite well and it is essentially fully operational' (Blackburn in JCACC 2004:14). Given that the Anti-Trafficking Package is now functional, a critique of major aspects of the package is timely, if not overdue. The package, focused on criminalisation and prosecution, falls clearly within the purview of the criminological gaze. Thus it is through this lens that limitations of the package will be identified and explored, limitations that will have direct implications for the ultimate 'success' of the package in eliminating the trafficking of people, particularly the trafficking of women into sexual servitude.

Addressing Family Violence through Visa Sponsor Checks: A Step in the Right Direction?

The Bill proposes to mandate character checks for people seeking to sponsor family visa applications and to refuse sponsorship applications on grounds of conviction for various offences relating to abuse and family violence. With reference to the Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee inquiry into the Bill, this comment outlines the current visa sponsoring requirements, and identifies the implications, impact and limitations of the proposed measures, exploring whether they will in fact offer protection from family violence experienced by women without permanent status in, or outside of, Australia.

Family violence risk, migration status and ‘vulnerability’: hearing the voices of immigrant women

Journal of Gender-Based Violence, 2018

Women in refugee and immigrant communities are often understood as experiencing additional barriers and vulnerabilities when they face family violence; implicitly creating a deficit model of vulnerability attached to women’s intersectional marginalization particularly in terms of migration and service regimes. Yet when we focus on women’s own accounts of risk and safety, we argue that the ‘vulnerabilities’ these women experience are in fact predominantly created by service and legislative regimes that operate in terms of gender and migration. Rather than assuming that such vulnerabilities are inherent for women from CALD communities, we need to better recognise women’s own assessments of risk and their s...
