Slavery fight needs 'change in culture'

Commissioner calls for further steps to end UK labor crimes

LONDON - Police and prosecutors in Britain are taking the fight to human traffickers and slavemasters, but the country needs a "change in culture" to end modern slavery, the UK's anti-slavery czar said.

Kevin Hyland, appointed independent commissioner in 2014 as part of Britain's landmark Modern Slavery Act, said more cases of slavery were being investigated and taken to court as police learn to enforce the tough anti-slavery laws at their disposal.
