Trafficking in people is arguably one of the most contested topics in criminology in the last two decades..This book represents a significant contribution towards building a more sound knowledge about trafficking.
some interesting concepts covered with the first chapter defining trafficking and the different perspectives being particularly approachable.
I will be recommending that the library obtains a number of copies of this book so that it can be included as a key text for a new criminology unit on serious organised crime. This text provides a critique to the criminisation of human trafficking so is a welcome addition to the literature. The new unit is a second year unit which will be a core and taken by about 40 students.
It is also a useful text for students undertaking their dissertation on human trafficking.
An excellent text on this area
An excellent introduction to the topic.
I use this book as a complement to the textbook. This topic is timely, especially within our local communities.
This text presents a well articulated analysis of an issue of contemporary political, legislative and policy concern. Case studies ground the complexity of issues in practical examples and the book proceeds with a good balance between a theorizing of the situation and the practicalities of addressing it.
An excellent addition to the growing knowledge-base on the issue of human trafficking.
I do a dedicated session on human trafficking on our new Violence module, so this text is perfect for that. Chapter 6 is also useful for our Policing module.
A very informative and accessible book. It explores varying and often conflicting arguments on the issue of human trafficking. A good guide for students and practitioners interested in this very subject
Excellent introduction to the subject.
Excellent book that will become a key text for this course.
Good book
A useful text for those students who opt to study this area at undergraduate level.
A well presented work which reinforces the subject of State Crime and Globalization and provides students with a very essential understanding of the problems created by the subject matter. It is a work that fits neatly into the present module which investigates the concept of global crime from the levels of globalization, terrorism and state crime.
