Abstract

The purpose of this research study is to provide a description of human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation within Bosnia and Herzegovina based on accounts provided by law enforcement officers. The current study relies on self-reported survey data collected from 363 Bosnian Border Police officers in the summer of 2011. The majority of officers surveyed stated that sex trade in BiH has become an internal affair where the majority of individuals involved (i.e., traffickers, clients and victims) are Bosnian and Herzegovinian nationals.

FINDINGS presented have important implications for anti-trafficking programs and legislation.
