The Opinions of Bangkok Public University Students on Human Trafficking Prevention and Suppression of the Officers of the Metropolitan Police Bureau

Abstract

The objective of this research project was to determine the levels of the opinions of Bangkok public university students towards human trafficking prevention and suppression of the police officers of the Metropolitan Police Bureau. This research was conducted using questionnaires and quantitative research methods in the sample group of 400 Bangkok public university undergraduates and analysed all questionnaires by a statistical computer program to describe the result. The study indicated that the undergraduates had opinions on the success of prevention and suppression of the officers of the Metropolitan Police Bureau at the moderate level. The students had opinions that Metropolitan police officers should educate the public about human trafficking in order to prevent people from becoming victims of such crime, should pay more attention to prevention and suppression of human trafficking, and particularly should honestly and justly perform their duties to prevent and supress human trafficking offenders from committing such crimes, without abusing their powers or being corrupted to pursue their own benefits.
