On the one hand, …

Attitudes Towards the Victim and the Client of Sex Trafficking in Greece: The Influence of Belief in a Just World, Structural Attributions, Previous Experience, and Attitudes Towards Prostitution
Although scholarly interest in human trafficking has grown over the years, public attitudes towards the victim and the client of sex trafficking remain understudied. The present study explores these attitudes in Greece, a country that plays an important role in the sex-trafficking chain, through a sample of 624 Greek male and female participants. It further examines belief in a just world, structural attributions towards human trafficking, previo…
