Who are the perpetrators of modern slavery? Why do they exploit
others? What might be done to stop exploitation recurring? These
are the questions answered in this book. Reporting on the first
primary study of modern slavery offenders, the book depicts the
findings of in-depth interviews with people accused of, and
convicted for, committing modern slavery offences. The different
forms that modern slavery takes are explained chapter by chapter:
organized crime, people smuggling, labour exploitation, domestic
servitude, sham marriage, the trafficking of adults for sexual
exploitation and child sex trafficking. Using case studies to
illuminate the perspectives of those deemed perpetrators, we show
that few modern slavery offenders conform to stereotypes of people
traffickers. Through an interpretive analysis of offenders' life
stories, we reveal the points in the past and present where
interventions could have prevented victims from becoming trapped in
exploitation. We show that while national governments and
international bodies often appear resolute in their efforts to
tackle modern slavery and people trafficking, they have also
obscured their own roles in compounding the plights of those at the
sharp ends of globalization. In racializing the actions of sex
traffickers, grooming gangs, and organized criminals, the modern
slavery agenda has mystified the roles market dynamics, the absence
of workers' rights, and immigration controls play in generating
vulnerabilities to exploitation. This book will be of interest to a
wide range of students, policymakers and practitioners concerned
with modern slavery, human trafficking, border control and
immigration, globalization and inequality, as well as the more
disciplinefocused criminological audiences concerned with why
people commit crimes, what should be done about them and the, often
paradoxical, consequences of social control across borders. Given
the book's strong focus on narrative, psychosocial and social
network methodologies, it will also appeal to audiences across the
social sciences concerned with applying these novel approaches to
difficult to reach populations.
