Child trafficking is one of those subjects that does not easily lend itself to the orthodoxies of liberal criminology. However, Fussey and Rawlinson have taken several significant steps beyond the predictable handwringing and reflexive outrage, and engaged with the traffickers themselves. When mixed with law enforcement data, the reader is presented with a messy and disturbing reality that really should not be ignored. Dick Hobbs, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of Essex, UK

Child trafficking is one of those subjects that does not easily lend itself to the orthodoxies of liberal criminology. However, Fussey and Rawlinson have taken several significant steps beyond the predictable handwringing and reflexive outrage, and engaged with the offenders themselves. When mixed with law enforcement data, the reader is presented with a messy and disturbing reality that really should not be ignored. Dick Hobbs, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of Essex, UK Fussey and Rawlinson provide a comprehensive discussion on the topic, based on empirical data and case study analysis. Their book not only has the merit of calling for more attention towards a phenomenon which has relevant social and political implications for European societies and EU policies, but it also demonstrates that a topic which has been traditionally investigated by sociologists and criminologists may be of interest to political scientists as well.
