Combating Human Trafficking by Veerendra Mishra

This book demystifies the term "trafficking" with a view to properly understand its trends, dimensions, and gaps in policy and law that need to be plugged. Combating Human Trafficking aims to initiate fresh discussion on human trafficking, and offers recommendations to curb organized international crime. It explores varied dimensions of the crime and offers further classification to help effectively address the problem. It presents a new perspective of identifying assimilative interaction between social and criminal justice systems, the progressive growth in socio-criminal legislations, and the universal demand of multi-agency approach to combat trafficking. Through the Brute Mute theory, it gives an illustrative description of micro- and macro-governance, and offers a global perspective to the problem with examples and case studies.Table of Contents:List of Figures Preface Acknowledgments Revisiting Definition of Human Trafficking Diverse Perspectives to Combat Human Trafficking Broadening Dimensions of Human Trafficking Commercial Sexual Exploitation Labor Trafficking and Other Dimensions Dynamics of Cause and Effect: Challenge to Social Justice System Gaps in Law Enforcement: Challenge to Criminal Justice System Multiple Agency Approach and Partnership Wayward Justice: Brute Mute Theory Socio-criminal Legislations: A New Dimension to Criminal Justice System Waiting for Ethical Justice: Case of Bedia Community and Native Americans The Way Forward: Recommendations Index About the Author
