The Indian Police JournalSummary: With the rise of trafficking as a global phenomenon India’s involvement in it has also grown. More worrying still is the rising share of children2 in the total trafficked population in India. In fact, India is seen as a source, transit and destination country for trafficked children , with an estimated 1.2 million children trafficked in India every year (US Department of State, 2010). While the bulk of trafficking in India takes place internally and is believed to be targeted mostly at forced labour, lack of consistent and credible data makes it hard to establish the precise numbers especially as far as children and their destination are concerned. According to the National Crime Records Bureau Report (NCRB, 2015)3 – the only credible government data source on trafficking - a total of 6877 cases were recorded in that year, up from 5466 in 2014. Of these, the cases pertaining to child trafficking were 3490 in 2015, which is about 50% of all trafficking cases. Unfortunately, similar data is not available for previous years to enable comparisons, but we do know from the same report that the conviction rates for child trafficking in 2015 were an abysmal 14.3%.- Reproduced
