Edited by three global experts, this text examines techniques used to protect and support victims of trafficking as well as strategies for prosecution of offenders. The book discusses data collection and analysis, the importance of harmonization and consistency in legal definitions and interpretations within and among regions, and the need for better cooperation between the various actors involved in combating human trafficking. It also explores problems with victim identification, erroneous assumptions about the scope of victimization, and controversy over linking protection measures with cooperation with authorities.
