Description: "The aim of Child Exploitation and Trafficking is to bring some fresh thinking to this complicated area of the law and help erase some of the misconceptions surrounding it. It provides the first comprehensive, practical introduction to the history and present-day reality of child exploitation, as well as to the interconnected web of domestic and transnational advice and reform proposals aimed at those involved in all levels of this difficult area. Serving as a 'first-line' resource for clear, practical thinking on the range of complex (and often misunderstood) investigative, prosecutorial, and rehabilitative issues surrounding child exploitation cases, this work is a must-have for anyone with interest in the protection of children from exploitation and trafficking"--Provided by publisher.
