Abstract
This chapter focuses on human trafficking for sexual exploitation in Italy. Two
Italian case studies are analyzed, applying the crime script approach. They have
been provided by state prosecutors of two Italian provinces (Campobasso and
Ancona) and are referred respectively to indoor and outdoor prostitution. Starting
from the literature on this topic, the different stages of this crime (recruitment,
transportation, exploitation and aftermath) are identified.
From the analysis of the two arrest warrants, information on the actions and
decisions of both traffickers and victims is linked to the stages of the crime. The
added value of this work is the application of a methodological tool (script) not
often used to examine human trafficking. This allows a concrete analysis of the
vulnerabilities associated with the crime-commission process and the search for
situational crime prevention measures that might target these vulnerabilities. Both
research and policy implications are drawn at the end of the chapter.
