我们使用来自英国大都市区的警方数据的横截面提取，其中包含 540 名受害者和 380 名嫌疑人的详细信息（2015 年 4 月至 2018 年 6 月期间向警方报告），探讨了现代奴隶制犯罪的受害者和嫌疑人之间的异质性（亚组）。潜在类别分析用于根据明显的人口统计（年龄、性别和出生地）和剥削类型变量来识别受害者和嫌疑人的亚组。在嫌疑人中，分为“男性性贩运者”（82%）和“劳工和家庭贩运者”（18%）。在受害者中，确定了四个类别：“受到性剥削和家庭剥削的妇女”（30%）和“受到性剥削的女孩”（35%）、“在合法和非法市场上受到剥削的男性”（26%）和“受到刑事剥削的男孩”（9%）。这些发现揭示了人口贩运是由性别、世代和移民构成的，但要注意不要将这一问题定义为仅由男性犯罪者剥削妇女和儿童受害者，尽管这种情况很常见。
We explored heterogeneity (subgroups) amongst victims and suspects of modern slavery offences using a cross-sectional extract of police data from a large metropolitan area in the UK with details of 540 victims and 380 suspects (reported to the police between April 2015 and June 2018). Latent class analysis was used to identify subgroups of victims and suspects based on the manifest demographic (age, sex, and place of birth) and exploitation type variables. Amongst suspects, classes distinguished between 'Male sex traffickers' (82%) and 'Labour and domestic traffickers' (18%). Amongst victims, four classes were identified as: 'Sexually and domestically exploited women' (30%) and `Sexually exploited girls' (35%), 'Men exploited in licit and illicit markets' (26%), and 'Criminally exploited boys' (9%). These findings reveal trafficking as structured by gender, generation, and migration, but caution against defining the problem as one of exclusively male offenders exploiting women and children victims, even while this is commonplace.
