Sažetak
The paper analyses data obtained primarily on the basis of studies of all 82 cases in which 177 victims of human trafficking were identified with a total of 154 reported perpetrators or suspects in the period from 2016 to 2020 in Croatia, as well as 20 conducted interviews with stakeholders of the Croatian system of combating human trafficking. The research resulted in a series of recommendations and proposals for interventions in the legal framework for the
suppression of human trafficking related to: merging or harmonising the legal framework concerning human trafficking and slavery; the adoption of an Act on the Suppression of Human Trafficking; the introduction of an independent national rapporteur for human trafficking; the inclusion of victims of human trafficking in the Act on Financial Compensation for Victims of Crimes; regulating the urgency of handling cases of human trafficking; prescribing a non-punishment clause for victims of human trafficking; continuous education on human trafficking at all levels, etc. Some of the elaborated proposals are of a general nature, which means they would also be applicable to other criminal cases, such as formulating the duty to award compensation claims as a rule in the Criminal Procedure Act and introducing the principle of compensation for victims and the imposition of special obligations along with suspended sentences
as a rule in the Criminal Code
