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…
How many trafficked people are there in Greater New Orleans? Lessons in measurement
Researchers in the field of modern slavery and human trafficking have faced significant challenges in estimating the prevalence of victimization since the emergence of the field in the 1990s. 1 Human trafficking is a hidden crime, which for several reasons is not amenable to the most widely applied approaches to measuring crime and victimization, especially in wealthy nations such as the U.S. where trafficking is less prevalent and more hidden. R…
Globalization and Modern Slavery
This article presents a cross-national comparative analysis of the relationship between different dimensions of globalization and modern slavery. It argues that both the economic and political dimensions of globalization are strongly associated with lower levels of slavery prevalence. Recent estimates suggest there are more than 40 million people in some form of slavery and the United Nations has committed the world to ending this problem by 2030…
Density Estimation for Statistics and Data Analysis
Although there has been a surge of interest in density estimation in recent years, much of the published research has been concerned with purely technical matters with insufficient emphasis given to the technique's practical value. Furthermore, the subject has been rather inaccessible to the general statistician.The account presented in this book places emphasis on topics of methodological importance, in the hope that this will facilitate broader…
Functional Data Analysis
Extremely Large Variations of Atmospheric 14 C Concentration During the Last Glacial Period
A long record of atmospheric 14 C concentration, from 45 to 11 thousand years ago (ka), was obtained from a stalagmite with thermal-ionization mass-spectrometric 230 Th and accelerator mass-spectrometric 14 C measurements. This record reveals highly elevated Δ 14 C between 45 and 33 ka, portions of which may correlate with peaks in cosmogenic 36 Cl and 10 Be isotopes observed in polar ice cores. Superimposed on this broad peak of Δ 14 C are sever…
