Short description:

In this Article, the author focus on the missing “P” in the “three p” paradigm — partnership — by discussing the theoretical and practical benefits of law enforcement and NGO collaboration in working within the confines of the current TVPA to provide the most deterrence to traffickers and the most relief to victims. The Article then specifically analyzes DOJ-funded task forces and their success in partnering law enforcement with victim service providers to unite the goals of the TVPA. It ends by examining the potential struggles task forces face and proposing means for extending and enhancing current success. Ultimately, the Article argues that understanding these partnerships, critiquing them, and enhancing their effectiveness is central to ensuring that the goals of the TVPA are finally met.
