In Sex Trafficking in the United States, Andrea J. Nichols explores the dynamics of sex trafficking from the angles of survivors, perpetrators, facilitators, and the social service and criminal justice professionals who work in the field. She examines common risk factors for those who become victims, and the barriers they face when they try to leave. She also looks at how and why sex traffickers enter the industry, the prevalence of bought sex, and the criminal justice policies that target them. Sex trafficking in this book is analyzed from neoliberal, abolitionist, feminist, criminological, and sociological perspectives, and Nichols accounts for the role of race, ethnicity, immigrant status, LGBTQ identities, age, sex, and intellectual disability in heightening the risk of trafficking and how social services and the criminal justice and health care systems can best respond. With recommendations for practice and policy as well as suggestions for cultural change, Sex Trafficking in the United States is essential for understanding the mechanics of an exploitive industry and for curbing its spread among at-risk populations.Andrea J.
