- Drawing on unique empirical research with UK and Romanian police, advocacy groups and those engaged in informal economies, Child Trafficking in the EU interrogates wide-ranging concerns including the origins, commission, and cross-border responses to child trafficking, innocence, childhood, hierarchies of victimhood, and policing of marginalised groups, situating findings against social, cultural, political, policy and judicial contexts. The theoretical analysis advances sociologies of mobility, marginalisation, policing and pluralised renderings of criminalised and victimised 'others', informing pressing debates concerning politicised discourses of 'modern slavery', migration and disadvantage, institutional failure to protect vulnerable populations and cross-European policing co-operation much neglected in Brexit discourse.
