EU:s och det svenska arbetet mot människohandel

Sammanfattning: Human trafficking has gotten a lot of attention the last fifteen years. Three years ago the EU presented a new directive (2011/36/EU) concerning the crime and the punishment as well as the treatment of the victim and preclusive actions. Sweden was one of the leading countries negotiating this directive due to the fact that the country had presidency for the EU during the second half of 2009. This resulted in quite some similarities between the Swedish legislation and the European one. Nevertheless lacks Sweden some of the commitment to the European approach. There´s some recommendations in the directive that doesn´t get the attention it deserves in the Swedish legislation. For example many of the parts concerning the treatment of the victim. In this thesis I therefore compare the Swedish legislation to the European and analyse what kind of impact it has had in general. I also reflect on where to put more effort and other aspects that I find important.
