title = {Trafficking and the Global Sex Industry},
year = {2006},
note = {Trafficking of persons (mostly women and children) for commercial
sexual activities and forced labor is one of the fastest growing areas
of international crime. The United Nations estimates that 4 million
men, women, and children become victims of international trafficking
each year. Trafficking & the Global Sex Industry focuses on the
international trafficking of women and children for forced labor and
prostitution. This remarkable anthology takes a broad geographical and
economical perspective while also dealing with the specificities of
the socio-political background, poverty, opportunity structure, legal
conditions, the role of the state, gender structure, and the
organization of the trafficking business. The essays create a link
from country to country, demonstrating the worldwide nature of the
problem. Expertly written and well researched, this collection gives
the reader a clearer understanding of the problem and the actions
being taken to combat it. Trafficking & the Global Sex Industry
will have a broad market for readers on a national and international
level, especially among those interested in political science, women's
studies, international relations, and criminology.},
