Human Trafficking, Labor Exploitation, and Exposure to Environmental Hazards

Barrick, K. (2016). Human Trafficking, Labor Exploitation, and Exposure to Environmental Hazards: The Abuse of Farmworkers in the U.S. In The International Handbook of Rural Criminology (pp. 147-156). New York, NY: Routledge International Handbooks.

49% of the world’s population lives in small towns, villages and farms, yet until recent years criminological scholarship has focused almost exclusively on urban crimes. The Routledge International Handbook of Rural Criminology is the first major publication to bring together this growing body of scholarship under a single cover. For many years rural criminology has remained marginalized and often excluded from the mainstream, with precedence given to urban criminology: this volume intends to address that imbalance.
