Human trafficking constitutes one of the most serious human
rights violations of our time. However, many social work
practitioners still have a poor and incomplete understanding of the
experiences of children and young people who have been trafficked.
In "Trafficked Young People," the authors call for a more
sophisticated, informed and better developed understanding of the
range of issues facing trafficked young people.
In the first work of its kind to combine an up-to-date overview
of the current policy context with related theoretical concerns and
practitioner experiences, Pearce, Hynes & Bovarnick demonstrate
how the trafficking of children and young people should be regarded
as a child protection, rather than an immigration concern. Drawing
on focus group and interview research with 72 practitioners and
covering the cases of 37 individuals, "Trafficked Young People"
explores the way child care practitioners identify, understand and
work with the problems faced by people who have been trafficked.
The book looks at how practitioners interpret and use definitions
of trafficking in their day to day work; at their experiences of
exposing the needs of trafficked children and young people and at
their efforts to find appropriate resources to meet these
needs."
Trafficked Young People" will be of interest to practitioners
working in support housing and social work, along with solicitors
and sociologists, particularly those working within discourses of
child agency, self determination and victimhood. With its emphasis
on the legal and policy framework, and integrated throughout with
case histories, practitioner interviews and recommendations for
best practice, "Trafficked Young People" is essential reading for
anyone working within a Social Policy Development context.
