“…It can be concluded that if from one side, it is desirable that the EU and the UK find an agreement because they both benefit from EU police and judicial cooperation. (Carrapico et al, 2017) From the other side, the UK will not be able to exercise any influential position anymore by staying out from the EU, by not accepting the CJEU's jurisdiction and by imposing immigration controls over EU citizens. Some scholars are arguing that the fact that the UK has always taken initiatives and provided expertise in the area of internal security, may mean that "Brexit has the potential to disrupt internal security processes at different levels" (Carrapico et al, 2017: 24-25).…”

By leaving the EU, the UK will also leave EU agencies such as Europol and Eurojust. Brexit, therefore, may create a gap in cooperation between law enforcement authorities of different Member States in their ability to detect human trafficking. Legal instruments such as the European Arrest Warrant may be repealed and the UK may reduce their cooperation in EU criminal matters. While the UK remains in the EU, it can join EU legal measures in the criminal area. After Brexit, this option will no longer be available. There is thus the risk that the UK will decide not to be bound by the Human Trafficking Directive. This article seeks to explore where the UK stands in the fight against human trafficking and what position it may adopt after Brexit. Subsequently, the article explicates the claim that a larger number of vulnerable people may be targeted by criminal organisations and recruited for the purpose of human trafficking and forced labour because EU citizens may no longer be entitled to live in the UK with the same rights and entitlements. This analysis will be conducted by examining EU legislation in the criminal area, UK legislation on human trafficking and the proposals presented by the UK government.
