Global Trafficking in Women and Children

Providing a powerful analysis of the circumstances that contribute to the abuse and victimization of women and children, this volume explores the international policies and strategies used to combat this crime. Beginning with a discussion of the definition, nature, and scope of human trafficking, it examines environmental influences and explores control and prevention measures on a global scale.
