Alexis A. Aronowitz Books

Focusing on the interplay between assimilation, acculturation, and delinquency, this study investigates 160 male Turkish adolescents in Berlin. Through self-report surveys and interviews, it explores their delinquent behaviors, identity, and cultural integration. Conducted between 1984 and 1987, the research examines the effects of discrimination and identity struggles stemming from differing familial and cultural norms. The analysis is framed within an anomie theory, positing that conflicts between self-image and societal expectations contribute to delinquent behavior.

"The scourge of human trafficking affects virtually all countries, which serve as a source, transit point, destination, or a combination of these. While countries have long focused on international trafficking, internal movement and exploitation within countries may be even more prevalent than transborder trafficking. Patterns of trafficking vary across countries and regions and are in a constant state of flux. Countries have long focused on trafficking solely for the purpose of sexual exploitation, yet exploitation in agriculture, construction, fishing, manufacturing, and the domestic and food service industries are common in many countries. Here, Alex A. Aronowitz takes a global perspective in examining the nefarious underworld of human trafficking, revealing the nature and extent of the harm caused by this hideous criminal practice."--Publisher's description
