Summary
The main objective of this review was to assess the presently available evidence on the effects of interventions that aim to prevent and suppress trafficking in human beings. The following questions were central to the systematic review:
• What types of anti-THB strategies and interventions can be identified that have been accompanied by some form of empirical analysis?
• Which of these studies incorporate (quasi-)experimental evaluations that are rigorous enough to determine the effect of these anti-THB strategies on preventing and suppressing THB?
• What are the outcomes of these (quasi-)experimental studies?
