Human trafficking and slavery offences are often constructed through prominent stereotypes of the ideal victim and the ideal offender. In this video, Kyla Raby and Dr Nerida Chazal from University of South Australia discuss four common offender stereotypes created by representations of trafficking in the media, popular culture, government reports, and awareness campaigns, and challenges these stereotypes by comparing them with international and Australian research and statistics. 

The video is based on an article by Raby and Chazal, which will be published in the journal Anti-Trafficking Review in April 2022. See more at https://www.antitraffickingreview.org/
