Offering an up-to-date and comprehensive resource for students and
general readers investigating human trafficking, this book examines
the phenomenon in its many forms, the factors contributing to its
existence, the victims it affects, and those who perpetrate this
horrific crime. The horrific reality is that millions of human
beings are bought and sold every year worldwide. Human trafficking
is not an obsolete practice, and these crimes are not rare in
occurrence. Recent examples of human trafficking such as the
abduction of hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls by the terrorist
organization Boko Haram and depictions of trafficking in films such
as Taken have brought human trafficking squarely into the public
eye. This book offers a comprehensive understanding of human
trafficking in its many forms. It examines the traffickers who
range from single operators to large, transnational organizations
and investigates how they coerce, deceive, and exploit their
victims in the domestic service, farming, construction, and sex
industries as well as in the harvesting of organs. The coverage
includes common practices of human trafficking like sexual
exploitation of women in Western and Central Europe, labor
exploitation in the Middle East, and the exploitation of children
in Western and Central Africa. Readers are introduced to various
experts who have rescued and worked with victims, prosecuted cases,
and conducted research to gain more insight into this crime and
serious abuse of human rights, and they will gain insight into how
a number of people and organizations are working to combat human
trafficking and protect victims. Primary source documents that
include reports by government, international organizations, and
NGOs serve to aid readers in acquiring more knowledge on the topic.
Provides readers with a greater understanding of the complexities
of human trafficking-from lack of clarity in the definition to the
problem of identifying victims-and how human trafficking differs
from human smuggling Enables a greater appreciation for the social,
economic, cultural, and environmental factors that contribute to
human trafficking and suggests how these crimes should be addressed
Suggests measures that have been introduced and must be applied
more extensively to combat trafficking and protect potential
victims
