In response to a growing human trafficking problem and domestic and
international pressure, human trafficking and the use of slave
labor were first criminalized in Russia in 2003. In Trafficking
Justice, Lauren A. McCarthy explains why Russian police,
prosecutors, and judges have largely ignored this new weapon in
their legal arsenal, despite the fact that the law was intended to
make it easier to pursue trafficking cases.Using a combination of
interview data, participant observation, and an original dataset of
more than 5,500 Russian news media articles on human trafficking
cases, McCarthy explores how trafficking cases make their way
through the criminal justice system, covering multiple forms of the
crime-sexual, labor, and child trafficking-over the period
2003-2013. She argues that to understand how law enforcement
agencies have dealt with trafficking, it is critical to understand
how their "institutional machinery"-the incentives, culture, and
structure of their organizations-channels decision-making on human
trafficking cases toward a familiar set of routines and practices
and away from using the new law. As a result, law enforcement often
chooses to charge and prosecute traffickers with related crimes,
such as kidnapping or recruitment into prostitution, rather than
under the 2003 trafficking law because these other charges are more
familiar and easier to bring to a successful resolution. In other
words, after ten years of practice, Russian law enforcement has
settled on a policy of prosecuting traffickers, not trafficking.
