Good law learns, refines and extends. Good law’s success will drive greater challenge to every stakeholder who must take what they know and put it into action to reduce recruitment of people, frustrate the flow of proceeds of crime through our financial sy ..read more

CONSULTING BRIEF #4   Call centre scamming operations contribute to the trafficking of thousands of migrants across Southeast Asia. The recent convictions of 3 traffickers and successful action taken by law enforcement indicate that it may be gradually becoming more difficult to traffic people in this way. As some of the first successful convictions of these call centre scam traffickers take place, we believe direct action like this can enable a future where call centres are not exploitative.   Call centres are a high-risk workplace for exploitation, with staff working long hours wi ..read more
