Trafficking in human beings for the purpose of organ removal

More about the book

This book presents new data on trafficking in human beings for organ removal, collected under the auspices of the EU-funded project ‘combating trafficking in human beings for the purpose of organ removal’ (The HOTT Project) between 2012 and 2015. The book starts with a comprehensive literature review of the crime (Chapter I). This is followed by an empirical interview study on patients who purchased kidney transplants abroad (Chapter II), a study of prosecuted criminal cases (Chapter III), recommendations to improve non-legislative responses to the crime (Chapter IV) and finally, indicators for law enforcement, transplant professionals and victim support workers to identify the crime (Chapter V).
