“…The third aspect measured to determine the professionals' degree of knowledge of stalking has to do with the training received on the matter. This issue is of particular interest insofar as increased training can lead to more effective detection of victims, as shown in previous qualitative studies conducted with professionals (Farrell and Pfeffer, 2014;Renzetti et al, 2015;Villacampa and Torres, 2017). When the professionals were asked about the training received, it became clear that none had received any specific training, although most of the interviewees reported having broad training on gender-based violence (n=17; 63%) or on victim services in general (n=4; 14.8%).…”

“…Perhaps somewhat inevitably, however, those that present as suitable targets for exploitative criminal practices often have clear susceptibilities which are explicitly taken advantage of (Chakraborti and Garland 2012). Many of the most vulnerable, but also most hidden, are therefore exposed to ruthless exploitation, resulting in significant personal and societal costs (Villacampa and Torres 2017).…”

The variable and evolving nature of ‘cuckooing’ as a form of criminal exploitation in street level drug markets

2019

A form of criminal exploitation rarely mentioned in the academic literature has recently emerged, evolved and taken meaningful hold in the UK. Hundreds of cases of 'cuckooing' have been reported, where heroin and crack cocaine dealers associated with the so-called 'County Lines' supply methodology have taken over the homes of local residents and created outposts to facilitate their supply operations in satellite locations. Dominant narratives surrounding this practice have stressed its exploitative nature and the vulnerabilities of those involved. Combining qualitative data from two studies, this paper critically analyses the model of cuckooing and the experiences of those affected. In turn it explores the impact of County Lines on affected areas and local populations, a topic that has received little academic scrutiny. Four typologies of cuckooing are constructed, highlighting its variance and complexity. Findings also suggest it to be a growing method of criminal exploitation beyond drug supply with a possible burgeoning presence being realised internationally.

“…en la detección es posible la participación de algunos profesionales no especializados y población general, ya que no es exclusivo de profesionales especializados (Gordon, 2018). para que surja esta oportunidad se requiere sensibilización y formación de estos profesionales, e incluso de la población, pues un mayor conocimiento aumentará esta tarea (villacampa & Torres, 2017). las situaciones de trata con fines de explotación laboral pueden estar cerca de cualquiera (por ejemplo, el servicio doméstico).…”

“…en ese momento son detenidas e identificadas como miembros de la red de tratantes (Meneses, urío & uroz, 2019) sin indagar en su historia previa. A pesar de que la trata con fines de explotación para actividades delictivas está contemplado tanto en el protocolo marco como en el código penal suele pasar desapercibida (villacampa & Torres, 2017), criminalizando a víctimas de trata.…”

¿Por qué se identifican tan pocas víctimas de trata de seres humanos?

En este trabajo se reflexiona sobre el número de víctimas de trata de seres humanos identificado en España en los últimos años. 2.209 víctimas con fines de explotación sexual y 439 con finalidad de explotación laboral han sido identificadas entre los años 2014 y 2017. Se trata de cifras reducidas si se contrasta con las informaciones de liberación de víctimas que ofrecen los medios de comunicación social. Los datos de organismos internacionales sitúan a la trata con fines de explotación laboral superior en volumen a la sexual y se cuestiona las bajas cifras obtenidas y los posibles obstáculos que pueden estar implicados. Se profundiza sobre las dificultades de detección e identificación de las víctimas de trata de seres humanos, encontrando factores relacionados con la situación personal de las víctimas, aspectos que los profesionales y las instituciones deben mejorar para avanzar y la necesidad de clarificar realidades sociales diferentes que se conceptualizan como similares.
