Details

The practice of one human being exploiting another in slavery-like conditions is not new. Today, it is called human trafficking. Social, political and economic changes over the past 60 years have changed how and why this human rights abuse occurs. In order to solve this or any social problem, it is important to understand it from many perspectives. With its range of chapter authors from different disciplines and professions, Human Trafficking comprehensively explains human trafficking as it exists and is being addressed in the 21st century. This text is for use in undergraduate and graduate interdisciplinary courses in human trafficking. It is also pertinent to professionals working in many fields, including law enforcement, human services, and health care, and to concerned citizens interested in human rights and how to make a difference in their communities.
