This monograph describes ideal referral systems for use in trafficking situations, describing the infrastructure needed (such as trusted police officers, not just police officers) for complex prevention and intervention to function adequately. This includes identifying vulnerabilities to trafficking while also asserting that the major problem is that there are traffickers. That there is a market for trafficked people is less-well articulated.

It extends their potential utility to the arena of migration, arguing that an adequate referral network targeted to potential migrants would decrease trafficking by decreasing vulnerability, thus serving as a preventive mechanism.

Read with Somaly Mam's [b:The Road of Lost Innocence: The True Story of a Cambodian Heroine|2634030|The Road of Lost Innocence The True Story of a Cambodian Heroine|Somaly Mam|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255618280s/2634030.jpg|2658738] for a good illustration of why trustworthy referral networks would be an excellent idea.

A somewhat technical volume on climate change and proposed adaptations for Asian and Pacific nations at risk. This is more a gloss than the nitty-gritty, describing proposed infrastructure rather than specific, concrete steps and practices. A good initial overview of the problem and its potential consequences for least-developed nations.

An interesting monograph on the social downside of road construction. On the one hand, roads bring commerce, opportunities, and health care. On the other, they bring prostitution and facilitate human trafficking, as well as increasing the risk of sexually transmitted infection. This well-written and even-handed document describes these risks, makes suggestions, and raises the question of who bears the responsibility for safety, security, and education when infrastructure is developed.
