| Summary: | In this chapter, I will reflect upon a criminological and victimological approach to human trafficking victims. I will question how the formal institutions of control may contribute to the failure of the processes of human trafficking and how that may influence the behaviour of the victim, leading to their loss of trust in the judicial system. The aim of this chapter is to enhance reflections to help the understanding of the failure of convictions in human trafficking cases, mainly because of the refusal of victims to be witnesses in these cases. I will also analyse the pyramid of justice and the selection of information lately appreciated in court. My main conclusion reveals that victims of human trafficking lack confidence in the state system, not only because of already studied factors but also after witnessing system failures. Some also lack knowledge of the formal institutions of control that will influence the whole process. |
