The Process of Human Trafficking in the Ukraine: A Grounded Theory Study
Theresa McKinney and John W. Creswell (other contributing authors- Dwayne Ball and Ron Hampton, CBA, UNL and Julie Pennington, U of Wisconsin – Eau Claire)
Although human trafficking is recognized as a serious global problem, there remains a lack of systematic understanding of the processes by which people become enslaved, are exploited, and are then rescued, discarded or escape. In this study, the authors develop a theory of the process of human trafficking that then be tested empirically and used to inform actionable steps to curb modern-day slavery of several types. Through analysis of 154 in-depth, qualitative human-trafficking victim interviews from Ukraine, study addresses two overriding research questions: What theory explains the processes of human trafficking? What can we learn from this process about preventing victimization and about potential interventions to assist victims? Using grounded theory, the authors identify a process model of human trafficking that includes the situation before trafficking, the recruitment, and the experiences within trafficking (including the occupation within trafficking, compliance, and outside contact), and the modes of departure from trafficking. The Implications from understanding this process will inform policy, aid in advancing research, and assist in identifying potential intervention points.
