With a unique, research-based focus on practice, th synthesizes the key areas related to working with victims of sex trafficking/CSE including prevention, identification, practice techniques, and program design as well as suggested interagency, criminal justice, and legislative responses.

- Examines the role of social workers and practitioners in interagency, legislative, and criminal justice responses to sex trafficking.
- Takes a broad societal perspective by examining the role of macro-level risk factors facilitating sex trafficking victimization.
