between the various actors involved in combating human trafficking,
including investigators, law enforcement and criminal justice
professionals, and social workers Problems with victim
identification, as well as erroneous assumptions of the scope of
victimization Controversy over linking protection measures with
cooperation with authorities Highlighting the issues most addressed
