Bridging the Gaps in Our Efforts to Combat Human Trafficking, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book brings together a rich international and cross-sectional collection of articles that examine the current knowledge on gaps in the research realm or intervention development as they relate to our effort to combat human trafficking / modern-day slavery. The anthology includes chapters from established scholars, practitioners, and persons with lived experience.

Modern-day slavery or human trafficking has attracted much attention from around the world in the past few decades and engendered significant growth in counter-trafficking interventions as well as empirical research on related prevalence estimation and program evaluation. However, significant gaps remain in our knowledge on how to address the crime. Understanding these gaps is essential in informing research, policy, and general response protocols. This anthology represents a rich international collection of contributions (both academic and non-academic) that offer a comprehensive overview of the most up-to-date gaps in our response protocols. The articles also offer recommendations that, if acknowledged, could help to impact the prevalence of human trafficking at a local and international level.

This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Human Trafficking.
