Learning from Failure in Human Trafficking, Gebunden

Blurb

This edited collection offers a groundbreaking shift in antitrafficking literature by focusing on what goes wrong in order to determine how to fix it. Adopting a highly accessible, multidisciplinary approach, this international collection brings together leading scholars and legal practitioners to expose the critical gaps in current global response systems.

Thematically, this book is structured around three core pillars. First, it challenges outdated definitions of exploitation, particularly regarding child criminal exploitation, sex work, and labour trafficking. Second, it evaluates operational failures in victim identification and protection, using highly topical real case studies from different continents such as crossborder drug smuggling in Chile, cyberscam factories in Southeast Asia, and the highprofile Dominic Ongwen case at the International Criminal Court. Finally, this book focuses on structural failures, addressing cuttingedge realities, such as the role of artificial intelligence in the fight against human trafficking, and the importance of integrating survivors' testimonies and lived experiences into research, lawmaking, and public policy.

By courageously analysing why past frameworks have failed, this essential volume delivers actionable, evidencebased, and survivorcentred solutions to reshape future law, policy, and practice worldwide.
