Approaching the topic from a law enforcement perspective, this volume provides an unprecedented look at the investigation of human trafficking in America.

It reviews federal agencies responsible for confronting the problem, examines relevant laws and legal trends, and discusses law enforcement awareness and training. An ideal resource for police investigators, police training, and community outreach organizations, the book is also suitable as a college text for criminal justice courses.
