"Human trafficking for prostitution is one of the UK's fastest growing industries. It will be one of the priorities for the new Serious and Organised Crime Agency. Yet we have only piecemeal anecdotal knowledge of the women trafficked, by whom and in what circumstances. In the UK, in 2000, Home Office research estimated that up to 1,400 women had been trafficked into the country. Now, according to police and lawyers, up to 80 per cent of 'off street' prostitution - in massage parlours, peep shows and brothels - in places such as Glasgow and London, involve women from Eastern Europe and the Baltic states."
