Thank you.
I think that was for me.
There is a variety of reasons for a lack of trust and low reporting. You mentioned juristat. There are a lot of references to the research on those important issues as to why that might be the case. It notes, for example, that victims may be unwilling or unable to report due to trauma they've suffered or pre-existing vulnerabilities. They may have general distrust of authorities. It may be because traffickers have told them to distrust police. Traffickers may also have involved them in criminal activity in order to maintain this type of control over them, threats that police may use the criminal law against them rather than to protect them as the laws' objective states.
In the training that Justice officials provide through the Canadian Police College's human trafficking investigator's course, these issues are studied and discussed so that police are aware that they are dealing with vulnerable, traumatized people who require a special kind of support and that they might need to interact with them many times. In fact, there's research that shows it may take several interventions by law enforcement before that trust is built and the victim will come forward to denounce the trafficker.
