"In Sex Trafficking: A Global Perspective, sex trafficking is discussed in terms of its multiple purposes and its victims. The essays provide information to build upon the limited knowledge based on the subject of sex trafficking and the legislative responses to human trafficking by the various highlighted countries. This collection is unique because it serves the needs of those studying human trafficking from a global perspective by targeting the issue within every geographic region; it provides a general profile of geographic regions in terms of demographic characteristics and political conditions that may support the growth of sex trafficking; and it is written on a basic information-supply level to provide readers with a foundation on human trafficking throughout the world."--BOOK JACKET
