TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Contexts of control: modern slavery in the United States JO - Social development issues A1 - Whitaker, M. Pippin A1 - Hinterlong, James SP - 27 EP - 41 VL - 30 IS - 3 N2 - This article asks what contexts facilitate control of individuals in modern slavery. We review the modern-slavery literature relevant to context, and propose four new constructs and a new model for analyzing how social and economic factors facilitate control of slaves in the United States. We validate this model through a secondary qualitative analysis of eleven confirmed U.S. slavery cases occurring between 1992 and 2002. We discuss implications for policy makers, public and private administrators, and practitioners. Keywords: Human trafficking
