Summary
GLOBAL LAW ENFORCEMENT DATA
THE 2003 REAUTHORIZATION of the TVPA added to the original law a new requirement that foreign governments provide the Department of State with data on trafficking investigations, prosecutions, convictions, and sentences in order to fully meet the TVPA's minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking (Tier 1). The 2004 TIP Report collected this data for the first time. The 2007 TIP Report showed for the first time a breakout of the number of total prosecutions and convictions that related to labor trafficking placed in parentheses.
The above statistics are estimates derived from data provided by foreign governments and other sources and reviewed by the Department of State. .Aggregate data fluctuates from one year to the next due to the hidden nature of trafficking crimes, dynamic global events, shifts in government efforts, and a lack of uniformity in national reporting structures. The numbers in parentheses are those of labor trafflckingprosecutions, convictions, and victims identified
