Each year; more than two million children around the world fall victim to commercial sexual and labor exploitation. Put simply; the growing epidemic of child exploitation demands a coordinated response.In addition to compliance concerns raised by the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA); UK Bribery Act; and other more familiar transnational anti-corruption laws; today’s companies must also respond to more novel legal requirements; such as those contained in the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act; Federal Acquisition Regulations on Trafficking in Persons in Federal Contracts; U.K. Modern Slavery Act of 2015; European Union’s Directive on Transparency and its amendments; and the proposed federal Business Transparency in Trafficking and Slavery Act and other laws.This Second Edition of Child Exploitation and Trafficking: Examining Global Enforcement and Supply Chain Challenges and U.S. Responses brings fresh; practical thinking to this oft-misunderstood area of the law; helping erase some of its counterproductive mythology. The book not only provides the first comprehensive; practical introduction to the history and present-day reality of child exploitation and supply chain issues; but it also traces the interconnected web of domestic and transnational federal laws and law enforcement efforts launched in response thereto. The Second Edition not only is updated to reflect the latest trends and other development presented by two of the premier experts concerning this constantly-evolving field; but it also contains new chapters examining areas such as special issues in the fight against human trafficking and the raft of landmark anti-trafficking laws that herald a new compliance reality for the globe’s business community. Written from the distinctive perspective of those who have spent their careers in the trenches investigating; prosecuting; and adjudicating these intricate; emotional cases; as well as those who are tasked with ensuring that products are free from the taint of child exploitation and force labor; the book is uniquely proscriptive; as well as descriptive; in the sense that it relies on real-world examples to serve up practical advice and reform proposals for those involved at all levels of this challenging area.

I purchased this easily readable book on my Kindle Fire immediately!Born in England in a rural community of upper middle-class family; her life changed drastically when the war began. She enlisted and served. I won't give away her story. It is absolutely riveting. After marriage and moving to America plus raising a large family; she details accounts of her life in America and strong desire to learn new things and be independent. She recounts varied stories of a life filled with adventure and intrigue; working at the Smithsonian; marriage to the head of the CIA (Richard Helms); interactions with presidents and well-known Washington figures and her charitable work. She was courageous; generous; and determined to live a life of meaning.At 90 years old; she remains an amazing personality; an attractive woman; a fine writer and story-teller. I thoroughly enjoyed her book and highly recommend it if you like memoirs. Since she is still alive; you can easily check her facts too!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. And a wonderful second marriage to CIA Director Richard HelmsBy michael d. mosettigThis is a gutsy memoir; a classic war-time era bride taking the tough decision decades later that life should offer women more than her marriage did.. And a wonderful second marriage to CIA Director Richard Helms; a lively life together in Washington power circles; the personal ups and downs of Watergate and post-Watergate politics.All these decades later we honor those in Britain who stood and fought; often alone; against the Nazis; even an English country girl doing her bit in the WRENS.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. DisappointingBy A SmithI kept waiting for something exciting to happen; but this is simply a remembrance written for the author's children. Not very interesting unless you know her personally.
