This book provides a short, comprehensive, critical analysis of trafficking in human beings. Despite the size and scope of this criminal activity, there remains a need for an accurate, objective, contemporary examination of this threat as the nature of this crime and the strategies developed to counter it are fluid. Trafficking harms not only the lives of those trafficked but equally families and communities, as well as national economies and social cohesion. As this crime spans the spectrum of social science disciplines and fields of study, together with its increasing exposure in the media, this has led to a sharp increase in interest in this topic within the academic community and amongst policy makers, criminal justice practitioners and the wider public. This book draws on current research, the authors’ expert knowledge and insight into current counter-trafficking practices to provide a critical analysis of the crime and strategies to counter its prevalence.

Simon Massey is Senior Lecturer at Coventry University, UK, where he is Director for two post-graduate courses in the School of Humanities. He has also worked as a consultant for the EU and the UNDP.

He was a prosecutor for over 20 years with the Crown Prosecution Service where he became an acknowledged expert in the combatting of human trafficking both in the UK and in the international arena. He was also a co-founder of the UK Human Trafficking Centre.
