Managed as offenders, ignored as survivors
This paper explores how people encounter the criminal justice system, as well as related support services for those victims of modern slavery who also have a history of offending. Drawing on a focus group with three participants, the study examines how moral complexity, bureaucratic rigidity, and systemic misunderstanding shape processes of rehabilitation and engagement with UK modern slavery support and criminal justice systems. Participants des…
Pathways to safety
This study explores how young people experience care and support services intended for children affected by commercial sexual exploitation (CSE), drawing on their own perspectives to inform service design and delivery. Twenty young people aged 12–17, based in Pernambuco, Northeast Brazil, took part. All had accessed services aimed at addressing or preventing Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC), often in the context of other adverse …
Taking Back Control
Modern slavery and human trafficking are well recognized as significant problems in need of legislation, policies, and actions from a wide range of stakeholders in the United Kingdom. The passage of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 is a hallmark of these concerns and has made the UK a world leader in the fight against modern slavery and human trafficking, a legislative development that is in line with the country’s broader formal commitment to the …
Covid-19 and child criminal exploitation in the UK
In March 2020, the UK was placed in lockdown following the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Just as legitimate workplaces made changes to enable their employees to work from home, the illicit drugs trade also made alternative arrangements, adapting its supply models to ensure continuity of operations. Based upon qualitative interviews with 46 practitioners, this paper assesses how front-line professionals have experienced and perceived the impact of…
Galvanizing Local Anti-Trafficking Partnership Work Using Intelligence
Prior research has evidenced the importance of collaboration and multi-agency partnership work in responding to human trafficking in both the UK and US. Three previous key studies are synthesized in this paper. We situate multi-agency anti-trafficking collaborative work within conceptualizations of “resilience” and mechanisms by which to achieve it, and draw comparisons between the structure, organization, and activities of anti-trafficking partn…
Building Slavery-free Communities
There is growing interest in the use of community-based approaches to address the causes of modern slavery and the related goal of building anti-slavery 'resilience'. However, the concept of resilience is often poorly understood and applied without attention to the specific challenges of anti-slavery policy and practice. This paper provides a conceptual framework for understanding the process and outcomes of building resilience against contempora…
Quiet Revolution… And Rigid Stagnation
Take a scene I noted in a recent film, a good film, rescreened on television last March (1986). It was Invasion of the Body Snatchers-not Don Siegel's 1956 original but Philip Kaufman's 1978 remake, with Donald Sutherland. The scene was the one where Donald Sutherland, at the height of the danger, is overcome by fatigue and falls asleep on a bench in the open air, which allows one of the giant pods from outer space that threaten the earth to begi…
Traffic in Souls
Traffic in Souls was premiered at Joe Weber's Theater on Broadway and 29th Street, New York City, on 24 November 1913. It has at least two claims to fame. First, its sensational subject matter linked it and a number of other more or less contemporaneous films with a moral panic that eventually resulted in the inclusion of the white slave trade (the entrapment of young women into prostitution) in the list of topics explicitly barred under the Hays…

Armed Insurrection and Dual Power
The years 1928–35 are famous in Comintern history as the ‘Third Period’, the period of class against class, of ‘social-fascism’, and of the all-out struggle of Communist Parties in Europe and the usa to overthrow democratic and fascist bourgeois states in complete isolation from any other political
Comment on Rohdie’s 'Signs and Meaning in the Cinema'
Sam Rohdie’s review of Signs and Meaning in the Cinema makes a number of telling and important criticisms, but I should like to append this comment since it seems to me that on one simple point he has missed the author’s intention, and, more seriously, in certain respects . . .
Fighting to Win
This Penguin edition of Clausewitz contains Books I, II and III of Vom Kriege complete, all but one chapter of Book IV, and most of the incomplete Book VIII, i.e., well under half of the original three volumes. The selection is introduced by a 70-page essay on Clausewitz’s
Walter Benjamin and the Arcades Project
Walter Benjamin (1892–1940) came from a Jewish bourgeois family. Born in Berlin, he spent his childhood there, studied philosophy in Freiburg, Munich and Bern, and after the First World War worked as a literary critic and essayist in Berlin and Frankfurt. When the Nazis came to power in
Presentation of Althusser
In the first half of the 20th century Marxist theory was dominated by two orthodoxies: before 1914 by the Kautskyism of the Second International, and from 1920 to 1950 by Bolshevism, the theory of the Third International. The collapse of Kautskyism was due to the spd’s collapse
Reply to Adelstein
Shaw and I have both assumed that as students are intellectuals, the issues of student politics must be discussed in the context of the problem of the role of intellectuals in the socialist movement. David Adelstein squarely attacks this view, and suggests that both our position and Martin

A Very Bad Biography of Lukacs
In England in the last 10 years great interest has been shown in the work of Georg Luk`cs, particularly in his later works of literary criticism. He has become a grand old man of European letters, and though what is written on him varies between respectful veneration and
Comment on Berger and Pullberg
Most Anglo-Saxon social scientists are proud of their concentration on fact, and regard the activities of most of their colleagues in continental Europe with amused contempt as ‘metaphysics’ or even ‘mysticism’. History has become the summarization of ever-growing masses of empirical data, sociologists find ever more variables in . . .
Presentation of Gorz on Sartre
One of the major problems of a socialist movement is its relationship with the society which it must subsist in and yet oppose absolutely. It is impossible to achieve an isolation from capitalism within capitalism, but many socialist parties have tried to do just this—notably the maximalist
