War, poverty, and famine; political, social, and economic change;
and the deep seated views and rituals rooted in a culture's history
and traditions all contribute to the widespread and growing
trafficking of women and children. The multilayered complexity,
myriad contributing factors, enormous amount of money involved, and
sheer magnitude of the problem render it impossible to solve with
the fractured and isolated measures of individual organizations and
countries. Only complete cooperation and collaboration at all
levels can establish the most proactive and self-sustaining
approach to reduce this global crime.
Gathering knowledge and experience from more than 40 countries,
Global Trafficking in Women and Children clearly demonstrates the
scale and spread of the problem, providing a powerful analysis of
the circumstances that contribute to the abuse and victimization of
women and children as well as the international policies and
strategies used to combat this crime. Divided into two parts, the
book begins with an introduction to the definition, nature, and
scope of human trafficking. It discusses several social theories as
well as evident environmental influences. It also examines measures
to control and prevent human trafficking from stricter laws and
monetary aid, to global community and law enforcement
collaboration.
Part 2 consists of case studies, drawing examples from a range
of countries involved in every stage in the process, and
highlighting the unique characteristics of human trafficking in
each. Chapters include the prevalence of child pornography in
Japan, child abduction in China, bonded child labor in India, and
child soldiering in Congo (Zaire) and other Africancountries. The
final chapters discuss law enforcement in the US and UK, community
policing in Australia, and the cooperative national plan in place
in Croatia.
