Drawing on an original evidence-to-intervention project, it combines prevalence estimation, risk analysis, and service-gap assessment to show how coercive conditions persist despite formal anti-trafficking laws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFocusing on the past decade—and especially the period following Tunisia’s 2021 political shift—the book highlights gaps between policy and practice, including weak victim identification, limited service access, and institutional constraints. It pays particular attention to migrant domestic workers, whose vulnerabilities are often underrepresented in official data. At its core is a case study of a civil-society intervention, tracing what was planned, what was implemented, and what became infeasible under tightening civic space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is aimed primarily at researchers in criminology and criminal justice, as well as practitioners designing anti-trafficking programs, offering practical lessons for working in politically constrained settings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSheldon X.
