Table of ContentsContents Introduction Chapter 1: What is Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking and Who is at Higher Risk for It? Chapter 2: Methods of Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking Chapter 3: Exiting the Life Chapter 4: Impacts of Trafficking and Services to Address Them Chapter 5: What needs to be done Chapter 6: Conclusion Participants Resources References IndexReviewsSusan Mapp brings to light the key myths and facts surrounding domestic minor sex trafficking in the United States. Synthesizing the current, most salient research in the field, Dr. Mapp provides a much needed resource for those of us working in the field. For those new to the subject and wishing to make a difference with this egregious form of child abuse, this book may serve as a primary guide for understanding the issue and the channels for action. I am grateful to Dr. Mapp for her work. --Lisa Goldblatt Grace, LICSW, MPH, Co-Founder & Director, My Life My Choice Much of what has been written on domestic minor sex trafficking is extrapolated from questionable statistics and media or fictional accounts that reinforce, rather than debunk, widespread myths. Susan Mapp has sifted through the literature and has talked with individuals on the front lines in order to provide readers with a more evidence-based perspective that is grounded in survivors' lived experiences. --Claire Renzetti, PhD, Judi Conway Patton Endowed Chair for Studies of Violence Against Women; Professor and Chair of Sociology, University of Kentucky There is much that can be used from this book to be applied in the real world. Having knowledge gained from both professionals in the field and the survivors themselves makes it appealing to the readers who can take action to fight against this crime. Susan Mapp has done a great job covering every aspect of domestic minor sex trafficking, while both the style of writing and the tone come across as very informative rather than judgmental. It was a pleasure reading this book. --Juliana Huard, MA, Co-Principal Investigator at the Center for Hope and Healing, Inc. in Lowell, Massachusetts Author InformationSusan Mapp, PhD, MSSW, Professor, heads the Social Work Department at Elizabethtown College.
