Curriculum

The horrors of human trafficking is now in the news almost every day and has become one of the most horrific and profitable crime problems we confront.  Alarmingly, human trafficking is hiding in plain sight, in every corner of society.  Like many criminal activities, finance is a major area of vulnerability to human traffickers.  Anti-money laundering compliance professionals are in a prime position to disrupt human trafficking.  What’s required is becoming situationally aware of the physical and financial warning signs of identifying and deconstructing human traffickers.

Deconstructing a trafficker to prevent and/or disrupt human trafficking requires understanding.  You must understand the risk, the mindset of a trafficker, the attributes of a trafficker, the crime problem and the consequences of trafficking.  When you can place risk, mindset, and attributes to this heinous crime driven by opportunity, you can develop detective and preventive measures to deconstruct a trafficker.

In promoting awareness to human trafficking this BSA/AML webinar will:

  • Define what ‘human trafficking’ is
  • Stress going beyond awareness to recognizing “a” problem to becoming situationally aware of “the” problem
  • Break down the attributes of traffickers in order to diminish opportunity
  • Present examples of proactive initiatives that banks are taking to address this scourge
  • Make financing a major vulnerability for traffickers
