"In this study of online child sex trafficking, Uitts, a human rights lawyer and researcher, offers a human rights and jurisprudential analysis of the internet “as a facilitating instrument for cybercriminals to develop forms of exploitation” (p. ix). The fundamental problem is that the internet allows criminals to conduct crime unrestricted by national borders and under the veil of hidden identity and motivation. The book first documents the significant size of the problem of online child sex trafficking, and then in three sections it examines existing law and legal principles, different forms of online child sexual exploitation, and a jurisprudential framework for change that relies on the principle of inviolable human dignity. The book ends with a draft international agreement on preventing and responding to this form of online exploitation. The content of this book is timely, given that the United Nations is in the early stages of negotiating a global cybercrime treaty, which will undoubtedly include the protection of children from online exploitation. This book is recommended for undergraduates through faculty, practitioners."
