本文探讨了英国现代奴隶制政策的出现，解释了警察和非政府组织部门如何欢迎有组织犯罪的模式，在政治上设想的“过于积极”的条款。部署克里斯托弗Bollas（1993年：167）的“暴力无辜”的概念，定义为防御“渴望是无辜的一个令人不安的谋杀”，我们认为，现代奴隶制的政治使许多人很难想象罪犯以外的任何其他“邪恶”的复仇女神的“无辜”的受害者。文章认为，需要铭记英国的历史作用，在奴隶制和类似的做法，并承认在何种程度上，移民控制的做法加剧了剥削现代奴隶制政策试图解决的脆弱性。
This article interrogates the advent of modern slavery policy in Britain, explaining how the police and NGO sector have welcomed an organized crime model, politically conceived in ‘excessively positive’ terms. Deploying Christopher Bollas’ (1993: 167) concept of ‘violent innocence’, defined as a defence against the ‘desire to be innocent of a troubling recognition’, we argue that the politics of modern slavery render it difficult for many to imagine offenders as anything other than the ‘evil’ nemesis of ‘innocent’ victims. The article argues for the need to be mindful of Britain’s historical role in the advent of slavery and practices like it, and recognition of the extent to which immigration control practices exacerbate the vulnerabilities to exploitation modern slavery policy attempts to tackle.
