Este trabajo tiene como objetivo examinar si España ha cumplido adecuadamente sus obligaciones de prevenir y enjuiciar la trata laboral y proteger a las víctimas. Para ello, ofrece un análisis crítico de las políticas públicas sobre trata laboral adoptadas hasta el momento, comparándolas con la jurisprudencia y datos sobre su implementación en la práctica. Con este objetivo, se evalúan los datos disponibles más recientes sobre inspección, investigación y enjuiciamiento de casos de trata laboral, así como la identificación y protección de víctimas. Los resultados destacan la invisibilidad de las víctimas de la trata de personas con fines de explotación laboral, en parte debido a la falta de medidas que aborden específicamente esta modalidad de la trata.2020text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=7850343(Revista) ISSN 1696-9219Revista Española de Investigación Criminológica: REIC, ISSN 1696-9219, Nº. 18, 2, 2020 (Ejemplar dedicado a: Inmigración, delincuencia y control penal)engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
