Reviews

A compelling read,this book is loaded with current research on transnational crime and human traficking; it also includes many valuable figures and tables. The book is also well organized, which prevents the research from becoming overwhelming... I believe this book has considerable value for any security professional whose company's goods or services cross international boundaries, as well as for those simply interested in learning more about international crime and human trafficking. - Kevin D. Eack; Security Management, May 2012 This well-researched edited volume will not only serve as a base for future studies in human security, transnational crime and human trafficking, but will also be valuable for scholars, students and policy makers concerned with human rights . - Kai Chen, College of Public Administration, Zhejiang University, China
