Combating Human Trafficking

Human Trafficking is one of the most extreme forms of exploitation in the 21st century. It, therefore, is one of the most urgent political challenges of our global age. Christal Morehouse evaluates the anti human trafficking policy in the United State of America and the Federal Republic of Germany. The author uncovers policy gaps and hidden policy agendas which weaken the German and American governments' ability to combat human trafficking. She provides recommendations for policy and research that are designed to amend disparities in the anti human trafficking policy in both countries. Finally, she examines the larger societal implications for US and German societies which could arise from failing to deal with this issue.
