The National Human Trafficking Prosecution Best Practices Guide

2 hours, 15 minutes

Publication Date: 2020

The National Human Trafficking Prosecution Best Practices Guide is a living document highlighting current best practices in the prosecution of human trafficking. Prosecutors and associated professionals are encouraged to continue developing this guide by contributing information on emerging best practices. NDAA recognizes that funding, local rules, or other state laws or local restrictions may prevent an office from adopting the various approaches suggested. This guide is not intended to replace practices and procedures already in operation, but to simply inform and recommend practices that are effective and consistent throughout the nation. This document is meant to be a living document, subject to ongoing feedback and comments from stakeholders and experts in the field. The NDAA Women Prosecutors section will continuously work to make any necessary edits to reflect appropriate national standards and best practices in the field. For contributions or edits to this document, contact summer.stephan@sdcda.org or wendy.patrick@sdcda.org.
