Riassunto

Edited by three global experts and composed of the work of an esteemed panel of contributors, Human Trafficking: Exploring the International Nature, Concerns, and Complexities examines techniques used to protect and support victims of trafficking as well as strategies for prosecution of offenders. Human trafficking is a crime that undermines fundamental human rights and a broader sense of global order. It is an atrocity that transcends borders―with some regions known as exporters of trafficking victims and others recognized as destination countries.

Topics discussed include:

• How data on human trafficking should be collected and analyzed, and how data collection can be improved through proper contextualization

• The importance of harmonization and consistency in legal definitions and interpretations within and among regions

• The need for increased exchange of information and cooperation between the various actors involved in combating human trafficking, including investigators, law enforcement and criminal justice professionals, and social workers

• Problems with victim identification, as well as erroneous assumptions of the scope of victimization

• Controversy over linking protection measures with cooperation with authorities

Highlighting the issues most addressed by contemporary scholars, researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers, this volume also suggests areas ripe for further inquiry and investigation. Supplemented by discussion questions in each chapter, the book is sure to stimulate debate on a troubling phenomenon.
