Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Caribbean Anti-Trafficking Law and Practice by Dr Jason Haynes
This monograph examines the International European and Commonwealth Caribbean approaches to human trafficking from an Analytical Eclectic perspective. It presents a compelling empirically based argument that although there is currently a panoply of measures aimed at preventing human trafficking prosecuting offenders and protecting trafficked victims in both Europe and the Commonwealth Caribbean the operationalisation of these measures has in practice been fraught by a number of challenges – whether of a normative institutional or individual nature. The continued existence of these challenges strongly suggests that there exists a ‘disconnect’ between anti-trafficking law and practice which is not peculiar to small-island developing States as they extend to developed States including the United Kingdom. These challenges are not insurmountable; however this book advances the argument that without sustained social economic political and legal commitments then only pyrrhic victories can be won in the fight to eradicate the scourge of the twenty-first century. Given the importance of the issue of human trafficking and its inescapable impact on victims families communities nations regions and the international community as a whole it is hoped that this monograph will serve as an important resource for policy makers scholars students and practitioners actively working in this increasingly dynamic area of law.
