Opis

This book offers rare and empirically grounded insights into networks of human trafficking offenders and victims. It is based on systematic research into sex trafficking, designed to uncover the characteristics of those involved, the nature of their connections and interactions, the logistics of the offending process and the challenges the crime presents for enforcement. This original research is situated within contemporary debates around organised crime, co-offending, criminal networks and, of course, human trafficking.
