Human trafficking is a crime that undermines fundamental human
rights and a broader sense of global order. It is an atrocity that
transcends borders-with some regions known as exporters of
trafficking victims and others recognized as destination countries.
Edited by three global experts and composed of the work of an
esteemed panel of contributors, Human Trafficking: Exploring the
International Nature, Concerns, and Complexities examines
techniques used to protect and support victims of trafficking as
well as strategies for prosecution of offenders. Topics discussed
include: How data on human trafficking should be collected and
analyzed, and how data collection can be improved through proper
contextualization The importance of harmonization and consistency
in legal definitions and interpretations within and among regions
The need for increased exchange of information and cooperation
between the various actors involved in combating human trafficking,
including investigators, law enforcement and criminal justice
professionals, and social workers Problems with victim
identification, as well as erroneous assumptions of the scope of
victimization Controversy over linking protection measures with
cooperation with authorities Highlighting the issues most addressed
by contemporary scholars, researchers, practitioners, and
policy-makers, this volume also suggests areas ripe for further
inquiry and investigation. Supplemented by discussion questions in
each chapter, the book is sure to stimulate debate on a troubling
phenomenon.
This book investigates the phenomenon of racist victimization in a
number of countries, uncovering and analyzing its historical roots,
its relation to the legal system in a particular national context,
its extent and the response to it. Through the international
comparative approach adopted and the broad geographical range of
studies presented, including national settings which have so far
been largely ignored by the literature on racist victimization, the
volume offers a truly international perspective on an important
social, political and academic issue. As such, Racist
Victimization: International Reflections and Perspectives will
constitute essential reading not only for sociologists and
socio-legal scholars, but for anyone working in the field of race
and ethnicity, crime and justice, criminology, victimology or
policing.
