Sažetak
Human trafficking is one of the major global problems. Victim of this crime is in central focus of international policies and strategies due to severe consequences of victimization and grave violations of the basic human rights. Victim assistance, support and protection are the main imperatives when dealing with such cases. Therefore, it is very important that professionals who work with victims are competent and fully aware of different aspects of each case. Main United Nation and European Union policy documents in this area emphasize the importance of trained and qualified professionals in identifying and helping victims. Social workers are professionals who can identify a victim and work as a member of interagency teams in cases of identified victims. Therefore, their full awareness of the problem and competence in identifying and working with victims is very important. This study aims to find out: 1. main sources of students’ knowledge about human trafficking, 2. attitudes about the push factors, 3. attitudes about the best anti-trafficking measure, 4. perception of the powerful anti-trafficking institutions, and 5. perception of students’ personal competencies for work in this area. In addition, we wanted to test differences between undergraduate and graduate students. Social work students at the University of Mostar (N=132) were asked to complete the questionnaire in paper-pen format in January 2017. Results show that media coverage of human trafficking cases and reading professional literature are the main sources of knowledge for students and that they perceive violence and abuse as the main push factors. According to participants, severe punishment of offenders is the best anti-trafficking measure, and the United Nations and the Ministry of Justice are the most powerful anti-trafficking institutions. Perception of personal competencies for working in this field is very low. There were differences between undergraduate and graduate students in their attitudes toward effective anti-trafficking activities and powerful anti-trafficking institutions. No differences were found in the main sources of knowledge about human trafficking, push factors, and personal competencies for working in this field.
