Reviews

One of the best resources for understanding the complex nature of sex trafficking in the US is Sex Trafficking in the United States: Theory, Research, Policy, and Practice, by Dr. Nichols. She clearly explains relevant policies and actors that shape sex trafficking dynamics manifest in a clear, digestible text. I cannot recommend her work enough. -- Lara B. Gerassi, University of Wisconsin-Madison
