Human Trafficking in a Global Context
Early Summer Session 1
| 3 credits
Globally, human trafficking ranks among the most profitable criminal activities. It is also a violation of human rights. In this course, students will gain an understanding of the issue of trafficking, including its extent in relation to other criminal activities, and its victims and perpetrators. You will also learn the most important elements of the legal and policy framework addressing trafficking at the European and international level. A number of guest lecturers, who work on a daily basis with the issues, and field study to Copenhagen's Red Light District will help to nuance your understanding of the subject matter.
