Summary
    Human Trafficking: Applying Research, Theory, and Case Studies for Criminal Justice, Law, and Policymakers provides readers with an essential, highly practical, and holistic examination of human trafficking.

    Readers learn about the dimensions and scope of human trafficking, critical terms and definitions, and the history of human trafficking. Additional chapters address intersectionality and economies of human trafficking, as well as topics of critical discourse. A collection of non-fiction case studies bridges the gap between theory, knowledge, and real-world situations. Throughout the book, key terms, class discussion questions, exercises, project assignments, and suggestions for further learning enrich the learning experience.

    Designed to equip readers with the information they need to enact meaningful change, Human Trafficking is an exemplary resource for courses and programs in criminal justice, law, and policy.
