Trafficking and Global Crime Control

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. Exceptionally well written and structured, its seven chapters look into important aspects of trafficking...Moreover, in addition to outlining the problematic terrain of current knowledge of, and responses to trafficking, the book also offers an uncompromising line of argument that effectively deconstructs existing misconceptions and stereotypes about trafficking, and proposes an alternative framework for better understanding and engaging with this complex social issue...Trafficking and Global Crime Control is a must read for academics, researchers, students, journalists, practitioners, and activists

This book makes a strong contribution to contemporary criminology and the many other disciplines Lee weaves together in order to provide the necessary multidisciplinary perspective on a multi-faceted problem. In doing so, the analysis sheds new light on the history, causes, nature and consequences of trafficking from various theoretical, political and comparative angles. It critically examines the key debates, concerns and dilemmas facing regulators of trafficking and global crime, forcing the reader to question the increased tendency to criminalise trafficking along with the traditionally punitive responses which dominate its regulation. These efforts have culminated in a highly readable, intellectually engaging and clearly organised book suitable for a range of courses spanning the many disciplines it builds on, while serving as an insightful resource to policymakers and practitioners in search of new ideas and strategies for reducing trafficking and global crime

An excellent text on this area -- Dr Dean Wilson * drupal *
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 -- Dr Kassim Noor Mohamed * drupal *
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. -- Dr Mervyn Sinclair * drupal *
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. -- Dr Paul Taylor * drupal *
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. -- Dr Ruth Van Dyke * drupal *
