Sex Trafficking in the United States is a unique exploration of the
underlying dynamics of sex trafficking. This comprehensive volume
examines the common risk factors for those who become victims, and
the barriers they face when they try to leave. It also looks at how
and why sex traffickers enter the industry. A chapter on buyers
presents what we know about their motivations, the prevalence of
bought sex, and criminal justice policies that target them. Sex
Trafficking in the United States describes how the justice system,
activists, and individuals can engage in advocating for victims of
sex trafficking. It also offers recommendations for practice and
policy and suggestions for cultural change. Andrea J. Nichols
approaches sex-trafficking-related theories, research, policies,
and practice from neoliberal, abolitionist, feminist,
criminological, and sociological perspectives. She confronts
competing views of the relationship between pornography,
prostitution, and sex trafficking, as well as the contribution of
weak social institutions and safety nets to the spread of sex
trafficking. She also explores the link between identity-based
oppression, societal marginalization, and the risk of
victimization. She clearly accounts for the role of race,
ethnicity, immigrant status, LGBTQ identities, age, sex, and
intellectual disability in heightening the risk of trafficking and
how social services and the criminal justice and healthcare systems
can best respond. This textbook is essential for understanding the
mechanics of a pervasive industry and curbing its spread among
at-risk populations. Please visit our supplemental materials page
