Report 2022: Trafficking of Human Beings for Forced Criminality and Forced Begging in the OSCE region offers a rigorous comparative analysis of a phenomenon that remains too often hidden. Drawing on Canada, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, this volume examines how different legal systems define, recognize, and prosecute exploitation linked to forced criminality and forced begging. The result is a nuanced picture of a complex reality, where legislation alone is not enough: the real challenge lies in identifying victims, ensuring access to justice, and building institutions capable of recognizing forms of trafficking that are often mistaken for other offences. It is a valuable contribution to scholarship on human trafficking, criminal law, and victim protection in the OSCE area.
