According to the UNODC (2015), human trafficking (HT) is the
fastest growing means by which people are enslaved, the fastest
growing international crime, and one of the largest sources of
income for organized criminal networks. It profoundly impacts the
physical and mental health of victims, their families, and entire
communities and is recognized as a crime against humanity. Despite
burgeoning interest, education, research, and advocacy efforts, a
pinnacle handbook devoted to human trafficking and modern-day
slavery - with global focus and multidisciplinary scope - does not
currently exist. The Routledge International Handbook of Human
Trafficking was created to fill this resource gap. Divided into
four sections, the Handbook offers the reader a comprehensive and
fresh approach via: (a) in-depth analyses and opportunities for
application (through case studies, critical thinking questions, and
supplemental learning materials); (b) multidisciplinary linkages,
with disciplinary overlap across each of the four sections
acknowledged and highlighted; and (c) content experts representing
multiple segments of society (academia, government, foundation, law
enforcement, and practice) and global vantage points (Australia,
Finland, Germany, Netherlands, South Africa, Thailand, and the
United States). Written by expert scholars, service providers,
policy analysts, and healthcare professionals, this Handbook is an
invaluable resource for those already working in the field, as well
as for students in any discipline who want to learn (or learn more)
about HT and modern-day slavery.

This book presents the various forms of human trafficking, a
growing trend in the exploitation of large numbers of people with
concurrent public health, socio-cultural, and economic costs to
countries burdened with the consequences of the COVID-19
pandemic. Edited by psychiatric-mental health nurses and an
applied anthropologist, this volume covers all forms of human
trafficking: sex trafficking, forced labor, forced marriage, baby
trafficking, organ trafficking, child marriage, and child soldiers
with a global public health and policy focus. As such,
it fills a gap in human trafficking and is built
on courses springing up around the United States in multiple
disciplines. Medical, mental health, and social work
interventions are included as well as programs with documented
outcomes. Each chapters includes the state of the art of
knowledge with case studies illustrating specific focal ideas,
discussion, questions and exercises help readers to retain and
reinforce chapter material. This textbook will be useful
in nursing, medicine, public health, social work, policy, and
also to any discipline in which human trafficking is a current
interest, such as law, criminal justice, and education.
