The Second Edition of Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery: Law and Practice

The second edition of Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery: Law and Practice has been published. 

 

"This book provides a detailed and practical guide to the legal regimes," the Rt Hon Lady Justice Nicola Davies DBE, wrote in her foreword to the second edition. 

 

She added that "the guidance is not confined to the courtroom. It realistically encompasses matters outside of a court hearing, relating to victims and those charged with a criminal offence. It is guidance which can properly form the basis of advice to be given by practitioners. It is necessary and welcome.”

 

Meanwhile, the second edition of Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery: Law and Practice has been labelled as a recommend read by The Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, Dame Sara Thornton, in her 2020 report on “The Modern Slavery Act 2015 Statutory Defence: A call for evidence”.  

 

In his foreward to the first edition, Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd said that the book “gives a very comprehensive guide to the legal regimes and much practical assistance. For example Chapter 6 gives a very comprehensive account about what should happen on arrest at the police station and the matters that the lawyer should consider; this is reinforced by clear guidance on ethics in Chapter 16.

 

"Another example of the practical guidance given, drawn from the experience of the authors, is Chapter 15, which provides a clear summary of ways in which victims are trafficked and exploited.  I therefore warmly welcome this book and very much hope it will make a real contribution to the protection of victims of trafficking and modern  slavery and to the prosecution of those who perpetrate this most heinous of crime.”

 

According to The London Advocate, "Anyone investing in this book can feel confident they will not only be able to handle their problems but will have the skills and knowledge to ensure a just outcome.”
