Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Researchers have provided a range of scholarship on the crime of human trafficking that aids in the understanding of the crime, its prevalence, and contemporary challenges. Yet, more work is needed for a full range of understanding of human trafficking worldwide. For this Special Issue, we are looking for original research on human trafficking crimes that uses a macro sociological approach to examine systematic patterns of human behavior and their connections to human trafficking through social, economic, and political systems.
Hence, we invite contributions to this Special Issue from researchers exploring how social systems interact with human trafficking crimes. Examples of relevant submission topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- An examination of social, political, or economic vulnerabilities and human trafficking exploitation;
- Case studies that examine organizational successes/failures in addressing human trafficking crimes;
- Theoretical or conceptual frameworks that explore human trafficking from a macro sociological perspective;
- Research that puts marginalized voices at the forefront of human trafficking research.
This Special Issue is interested in research on all forms of human trafficking, including both labor trafficking and sex trafficking.
Dr. Anna E. Kosloski
