Abstract

Nowadays, we think of human trafficking as a very modern problem, associated with sophisticated organised crime syndicates and cutting-edge technologies. However, human trafficking (the movement of people for different forms of labour, organised by someone else) is in fact a problem with a long past. This article illumiates aspects of the early history of trafficking and antitrafficking networks in England.
