This book exposes both well-known and more obscure forms of human trafficking, documenting how these heinous crimes are encountered in our daily lives.\u003c\/b\u003eWhat types of human trafficking crimes are being committed here in the United States? Who are the victims of traffickers? How do we all unknowingly consume the services and products of slavery? And why are human traffickers able to maintain their illicit operations with relative impunityindeed, with less than .01 percent of human traffickers ever being held accountable for their crimes? \u003ci\u003eHidden in Plain Sight: America''s Slaves of the New Millennium\u003c\/i\u003e documents how human trafficking and its byproducts touch every community in America, from impoverished inner-city neighborhoods t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA brief but exhaustive debut book looks at human trafficking. . . . [Mehlman-Orozco's]  meticulous research is based not only on a survey of the available literature, but also on her own interviews with victims, perpetrators of human trafficking, and the consumers who patronize their businesses. [Her] prose is both lucid and emotionally stirring, and she often illustrates her points with personal anecdotes to paint a picture that transcends statistical analysis. The subject matter can be disturbing—the chapter devoted to child sex tourism is particularly harrowing—but she navigates that dark terrain with grace and professionalism. She helpfully suggests a number of ways the response from law enforcement could be greatly improved, including empowering otherwise disenfranchised victims to come forward. An intellectually rigorous and emotionally affecting account of modern enslavement. * Kirkus Reviews *\u003cbr\u003eWe strongly believe that this is an essential resource for anyone eager to spread awareness and take action. . . .
