OverviewHuman trafficking has emerged as one of the top international and domestic policy concerns, and is well covered and often sensationalized by the media. The nature of the topic combined with various international pressures has resulted in an array of government-led mandates to combat the issue. The Domestication of Human Trafficking examines Canada's criminal justice approaches to human trafficking, with a particular focus on the ways in which the intersecting factors of race, class, gender, and sexuality impact practice. Using a wide range of qualitative and empirically grounded research methods, including extensive analysis of court documents, trial transcripts, and interviews with criminal justice actors, this book contributes to much-needed research that examines, specifies, and sometimes complicates the narratives of how trafficking works as a criminal offence. TheDomestication of Human Trafficking turns our attention to the ways in which human trafficking is made on the frontlines of criminal justice efforts in Canada.

By critically analysing a range of empirical data, Roots uncovers how police, lawyers, and judges enforce and interpret anti-trafficking laws, and in doing so, legitimize a powerful 'human trafficking matrix' based largely on sexist, classist, and racist stereotypes. This in-depth and compelling legal analysis is both urgent and timely.""--Emily van der Meulen, Professor of Criminology, Toronto Metropolitan University ""Filled with nuanced analysis and exciting insights, The Domestication of Human Trafficking is a must-read for anyone interested in human trafficking or sex work in Canada.
