Abstract
Human trafficking has increasingly become a global concern to the public, practitioners, researchers and government agencies due to its threat to national security, the rule of law, impacts on basic human rights, and physical and emotional wellbeing. This study examines the current criminological discourse on human trafficking and critically addresses the four main indicators of victimizations on victims of human trafficking. Using an integrated framework of criminological theories and evidence from literature, the study presents a tripartite response model in addressing the problem of human trafficking with special focus on the victim-oriented response model.
