A critical examination of the socio-economic exploitation underpinning human trafficking‘Human Trafficking’ is a term that does little to convey the myriad acts that underpin the exploitation of men, women and children across the world. Despite legislative developments and the introduction of national and international interventions, definitions of this form of exploitation, estimates of its extent and nature, and responses to victims and perpetrators have thus far been limited. Furthermore, aspirations to prioritise a human rights model within a wider discourse of ‘vulnerable people’ on the move are frequently overtaken by law enforcement and border control priorities. Human Trafficking: The Complexities of Exploitation goes beyond the political and media discourse to examine the competing dialogues surrounding human trafficking and explore the impact of this phenomenon both in the UK and internationally. Presenting findings from original, ground-breaking research in the field of human trafficking alongside practitioner insights, this book highlights the challenges of research and evaluation in this contentious and hidden economy and the implications of this for developments in survivor care and recovery.Key Features•Locates human trafficking within a theoretical and legislative framework of global, political and economic development•Brings together expert contributions from researchers and practitioners working in the field of human trafficking•Critically considers the conceptual basis of global responses to human trafficking and victim supportMargaret Malloch is Reader in Criminology at the Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research, University of Stirling.Paul Rigby is Lecturer in Social Work at the University of Stirling.Cover image: © The Young People of Child Trafficking Advice Centre, NSPCCCover design: Barrie Tullett[EUP logo]www.euppublishing.com
