Purchase options and add-ons

Each year, more than two million children around the world fall victim to commercial sexual and labor exploitation. Put simply, the growing epidemic of child exploitation demands a coordinated response.

In addition to compliance concerns raised by the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), UK Bribery Act, and other more familiar transnational anti-corruption laws, today’s companies must also respond to more novel legal requirements, such as those contained in the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act, Federal Acquisition Regulations on Trafficking in Persons in Federal Contracts, U.K. Modern Slavery Act of 2015, European Union’s Directive on Transparency and its amendments, and the proposed federal Business Transparency in Trafficking and Slavery Act and other laws.

This Second Edition of Child Exploitation and Trafficking: Examining Global Enforcement and Supply Chain Challenges and U.S. Responses brings fresh, practical thinking to this oft-misunderstood area of the law, helping erase some of its counterproductive mythology. The book not only provides the first comprehensive, practical introduction to the history and present-day reality of child exploitation and supply chain issues, but it also traces the interconnected web of domestic and transnational federal laws and law enforcement efforts launched in response thereto.

The Second Edition not only is updated to reflect the latest trends and other development presented by two of the premier experts concerning this constantly-evolving field, but it also contains new chapters examining areas such as special issues in the fight against human trafficking and the raft of landmark anti-trafficking laws that herald a new compliance reality for the globe’s business community.

Written from the distinctive perspective of those who have spent their careers in the trenches investigating, prosecuting, and adjudicating these intricate, emotional cases, as well as those who are tasked with ensuring that products are free from the taint of child exploitation and force labor, the book is uniquely proscriptive, as well as descriptive, in the sense that it relies on real-world examples to serve up practical advice and reform proposals for those involved at all levels of this challenging area.

Review

Child Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation: Examining the Global Challenges and U.S. Responses is an excellent resource for practitioners, advocates, and policy makers. The intersection of child trafficking and exploitation is a complex issue, and one seldom addressed using a child rights based approach. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the topic, including the current national and international legal instruments that can be used to combat child trafficking and exploitation cases, the impact of these crimes on child survivors, and challenges and recommendations for moving forward to protect the most vulnerable members of our society.


From the Foreword:

[A] milestone on the road to improved policy in this difficult and important area, this book will be an invaluable resource to judges, prosecutors, police, policy makers, criminologists, and the defense bar. I know that it will be of great value to me in dealing with the many appeals that my court receives from convictions and sentences in cases of sex crimes against children.


In authoring Child Exploitation and Trafficking, U.S. District Court Judge Virginia M. Kendall and former federal prosecutor T. Markus Funk, provide perhaps the first comprehensive history and current account of child sexual exploitation and trafficking as well as seeking to provide an analysis of the grid of U.S. and transnational laws that allow for the enforcement against these crimes and the resultant prosecutions. This is not an academic work per se, but the research and comprehensive approach is scholarly. Rather, this book could serve a wide range of members of the legal community: as a reference tool, text book for law students, guidance for prosecutors and NGO's seeking a brief synopsis of successful applications of laws both within the U.S. and in international forums.

The book aims to present a one-stop source on the subject -- from child pornography to international human trafficking and the organized crime that is often behind it....[Funk and Kendall] wanted to provide a resource regarding not only victims, but various sex crimes, the court system, defense strategies and computer techniques perpetrators use to hide information, as well as how law enforcement can find it.

This critically important book offers an essential, foundational element to a coordinated approach to end child sexual exploitation and trafficking.


This groundbreaking legal text, which comprehensively analyzes the accelerating worldwide crisis of the sexual exploitation and trafficking of children, comes at a critical time. . . . [A] compelling and authoritative treatise, clearly written, and filled with best practices and specific examples, this work challenges all citizens of our modern, global society to think creatively, mobilize our resources, and join forces to protect and save our children.

Internationally, she has traveled through the State Department, the Department of Justice, Lawyers Without Borders, Vital Voices, and various bar associations to Kenya, Egypt, Zambia, Liberia, Cyprus, India, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy, the UK, Thailand, China, Japan and the Vatican to teach judges and trial attorneys.
