CONT

Criminalité forcée. Les victimes sont obligées de commettre des délits contre leur gré, pour le bénéfice d'une autre personne. Les exploiteurs contrôlent leurs victimes par la violence, les mensonges, ou les dettes à rembourser, et les obligent à commettre des actes illégaux. Ce type d'exploitation se produit entre autres dans les gangs de jeunes des grandes villes.
