Abstract

The articles in the present issue of "International Review of Victimology" provide broad coverage of the problem of, and response to, sex trafficking, with special concentration on trafficking involving persons who originate from the former Soviet Republics and Eastern and Southeastern Europe and migrate into Western Europe and beyond. Only one article (see record [rid]2004-18341-007[/rid]) addresses trafficking in the general sense, that is, in terms inclusive of other forms of exploited labor besides the various forms of sex work. The articles included in this issue provide insights into many of the areas of human trafficking: problems with the definition and conceptualization of the phenomenon (see record [rid]2004-18341-002[/rid]); issues in documenting its nature and estimating its magnitude (see record [rid]2004-18341-008[/rid]), the mechanisms of recruitment and the organization of the market (see record [rid]2004-18341-004[/rid]); best practices promoted in the interests of protecting victims (see record [rid]2004-18341-006[/rid]); prosecutors' approaches to working with victims in the prosecution of trafficking cases; and a summary assessment of the campaign's history, politics and accomplishments. itation.
