Identifying victims and perpetrators of trafficking and modern slavery has become increasingly challenging as traffickers have become more sophisticated in their recruitment and control of victims and seizure of new opportunities. Written by an experienced practitioner and academic, this book presents the ‘Circles of Analysis’, a unique model to assist professionals and researchers working in the criminal justice, safeguarding and social work sectors.

Focusing on factors around the victim, offender and environment, this innovative model equips professionals to consider prevention, protection, intervention and disruption activity rather than limiting action to criminal justice-related outcomes.
