The study addresses a critical gap in offender-focused studies on human trafficking in the Greek and wider European context by exploring motivations, organisational structure, recruitment methods, and feelings of guilt/denial among offenders from a gender perspective. Methods: The current research is qualitative in nature, with semi-structured interviews with 14 incarcerated offenders (7 males, 7 females) together with 5 anti-trafficking experts being conducted as part of the EU-funded ASIT project (Adequate Support Measures for Victims and Offenders of Trafficking in Human Beings). The interview material was categorised by themes to identify common patterns and divergences between the male and female offenders. Findings: The results show the experts’ insights complement the offenders’ self reported accounts, which frequently include denial, minimisation, and the redirection of responsibility. Several women in the sample often reported having been coerced or manipulated by relatives or partners, while male offenders framed their actions as normal business arrangements. Offenders of either gender many times blurred the line dividing victimhood and offending. Continuous demand as a structural driver of trafficking and a variety of offender profiles were described by experts across Greece. Research Limitations: The small sample size and reliance on self-reported accounts limits the findings’ generalisability. Practical Implications: By bringing offenders’ perceptions into focus, the study helps with understanding the dynamics of human trafficking in Greece and provides evidence for policy as well as prevention and rehabilitation strategies within the correctional and judicial systems"},{"@xml:lang":"sl","#text":"Namen prispevka: Prispevek obravnava vloge in samozaznave storilcev trgovine z ljudmi v Grčiji z združevanjem njihovih izjav ter mnenj strokovnjakov glede motivacije, spolno specifične poti v kriminaliteto in mehanizme nadzora. Študija naslavlja pomembno vrzel v raziskavah, usmerjenih na storilce trgovine z ljudmi, tako v grškem kot širšem evropskem kontekstu, saj preučuje motivacije storilcev, organizacijsko strukturo, metode novačenja ter občutke krivde ali zanikanja z vidika spola. Metode: Raziskava je kvalitativne narave in temelji na polstrukturiranih intervjujih s štirinajstimi zaprtimi storilci – sedmimi moškimi in sedmimi ženskami – ter petimi strokovnjaki s področja boja proti trgovini z ljudmi. Intervjuji so bili izvedeni v okviru projekta ASIT (Adequate Support measures and Improved capacities in countering trafficking in human beings), ki ga financira Evropska unija. Z uporabo kvalitativne tematske analize intervjujev so bili identificirane skupne značilnosti ter razlike med moškimi in ženskimi storilci. Ugotovitve: Rezultati kažejo, da strokovni vpogledi dopolnjujejo izjave storilcev, ki vključujejo zanikanje, minimizacijo in prelaganje odgovornosti. Ženske so pogosto poročale o prisili ali manipulaciji sorodnikov ali partnerjev, medtem ko so moški storilci svoja dejanja predstavljali kot sporazumne poslovne dogovore. Pri obeh spolih je bilo zaznati zabrisovanje meje med vlogo žrtve in storilca. Strokovnjaki po vsej Grčiji so kot strukturni dejavnik trgovine z ljudmi izpostavili stalno povpraševanje ter raznolikost profilov storilcev. Omejitve/uporabnost raziskave: Majhen vzorec in zanašanje na samozaznave storilcev omejujeta posploševanje ugotovitev. Praktična uporabnost Z osredotočanjem na zaznave storilcev prispevek poglablja razumevanje dinamike trgovine z ljudmi v Grčiji ter ponuja empirično podlago za oblikovanje politik ter preventivnih in rehabilitacijskih strategij v kazenskem in pravosodnem sistemu"}],"edm:type":"TEXT","dc:type":[{"@xml:lang":"sl","#text":"znanstveno časopisje"},{"@xml:lang":"en","#text":"journals"},{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q361785"}]},"ore:Aggregation":{"@rdf:about":"http://www.dlib.si/?URN=URN:NBN:SI:doc-VTY96Q1R","edm:aggregatedCHO":{"@rdf:resource":"URN:NBN:SI:doc-VTY96Q1R"},"edm:isShownBy":{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.dlib.si/stream/URN:NBN:SI:doc-VTY96Q1R/48f466c9-be0f-4966-b9e2-0ca6a0e53b70/PDF"},"edm:rights":{"@rdf:resource":"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"},"edm:provider":"Slovenian National E-content Aggregator","edm:intermediateProvider":{"@xml:lang":"en","#text":"National and University Library of Slovenia"},"edm:dataProvider":{"@xml:lang":"sl","#text":"Univerza v Mariboru, Fakulteta za varnostne vede"},"edm:object":{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.dlib.si/streamdb/URN:NBN:SI:doc-VTY96Q1R/maxi/edm"},"edm:isShownAt":{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.dlib.si/details/URN:NBN:SI:doc-VTY96Q1R"}}}}
