Human trafficking is a multi-faceted crime. It suffers from definitional and implementation problems. One facet, the focus of this book, is the transnational nature of much of the crime, and the need for practitioners to operate across borders to combat it.

Europe has taken a distinctive approach to cross border law enforcement and judicial cooperation, which could be used as a model in other areas of the world. This publication examines these problems from a Council of Europe and European Union perspective, including the now post-Brexit UK. The UK has adopted a distinctive approach to legislating and operationalising its trafficking in human beings (THB) legal frameworks, also legislating for “slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour”, resulting in distinctive results in internal UK law enforcement. It is argued here that this approach and the results should inform THB legislative and operational developments more widely. Further action in legal and operational frameworks is, however, clearly needed and the book advocates the adoption of a human security “freedom from fear” approach. Ultimately, the interaction of different legal frameworks, and different jurisdictions requires transnational practitioners to adopt a constructivist approach, as was adopted for the development of the internal EU area of freedom, security and justice.

The book will be of interest to academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of transnational law, migration law, criminology and international relations.

DEEP STATE EVIL DEEDS takes an extensive and sweeping look at illegaland traitorous actions taken by government officials, elected and non-elected individuals.Using alternative news reports, the author illustrates and comments on how the rights ofordinary Americans have been grossly violated. This includes lawsuits and judgments thathave been issued under false suppositions and information, for the purpose of accusing andconvicting the political opponents of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris---a process that has beentermed “lawfare”. The book delves into such diverse topics as the rigged 2020 election,the raid on Mar-A-Lago (the home of President Trump), lawfare against Trump and theviolation of his civil rights, the illegal handling of peaceful January 6th protestors and violenceperpetrated against them, COVID vaccinations, the assassination of JFK, and the greatnessof America. This book will fill in a lot of blanks for those who have questions about theBiden administration, the Deep State, and the efforts of crooked lawless prosecutors andjudges to hand down unjust lawsuits and sentences. Trump has said about the Deep Statethat if they can come after him, they can come after anyone---and this book proves theyhave done just that!
