This book is an international, comprehensive reference tool in the field of trafficking in people and slavery. It is a high level, systematic, and comprehensive book due to its breadth of entries from leading experts to international organizations and NGOs on the ground, covering everything from historical perspectives to cutting-edge topics. This handbook is genuinely international, spanning the entire globe, with contributions from actively engaged scholars and practitioners on virtually every continent (including Europe, North America, Australia, Africa, Asia, and South America). This book also covers problematic areas that cannot be found in other reference works, including family-based torture, victim/perpetrator identification, the role of women’s NGOs, parliamentarians, and a new UN Treaty. Not only does the project now represent the most comprehensive single collection on the topic but it is also a clear reflection of collective support and input to ensure that this will (hopefully) be the primary resource for academics, students, NGOs, and decisionmakers who are conducting an inquiry into human trafficking.

这本书是贩卖人口和奴隶制领域的一个国际性的综合性参考工具。这是一本高水平、系统性和综合性的书，因为它有广泛的条目，从领先的专家到国际组织和当地的非政府组织，涵盖了从历史观点到前沿话题的方方面面。这本手册是真正的国际性的，横跨全球，几乎每一个大陆（包括欧洲、北美、澳大利亚、非洲、亚洲和南美洲）积极参与的学者和实践者的贡献。这本书还涵盖了其他参考著作中找不到的有问题的领域，包括基于家庭的酷刑、受害者/犯罪者的识别、妇女非政府组织、议员的作用以及一项新的联合国条约。该项目现在不仅是关于这一主题的最全面的单一集合，而且还清楚地反映了集体支持和投入，以确保这将（希望）成为对人口贩运进行调查的学者、学生、非政府组织和决策者的主要资源。
