Data and Research on Human Trafficking
Goździak & Bump
whether a particular book has been reviewed by an outside reviewer or not. Hence, the inability to determine which book was peer-reviewed and which was not. Empirical/non-empirical research. With very few exceptions (Cadet 1998; Mushen and Crofts 2000)4, all books in this bibliography are based on research or a systematic inquiry or examination and collection of information about a particular subject. However, very few books are based solely or in large part on empirical research and empirical data collected by the author/s. Notable exceptions include: (Skrobanek et. al. 1997); (Cole and Booth 2007); and selected chapters from an edited volume by Cameron and Newman (2008). Some books are based on investigative reporting (e.g. Malarek 2004) and the data, while empirical, has not been collected with the same rigor that a scholar might apply to a research project. The vast majority of the 94 books are based on non-empirical research. Similarly to journal articles, these books include policy analyses; compilations of information from secondary sources on a particular facet of human trafficking; critiques of trafficking frameworks; or authors’ views on the human trafficking debate.
