Perhaps you imagine someone kidnapped and sold as shown in films or worry that sex trafficking increasingly occurs online or in big cities during major events. While sex trafficking does occur, the reality of human trafficking is complex, though this reality is often obscured by the media. The media has played a large role in shaping understanding of this crime, with panics, conspiracies, and misinformation abounding. This book uses cultural criminology to break down historical and modern panics to understand the links between media portrayals of human trafficking, perpetuation of stereotypes, and influences on policy. The text examines the impacts of human trafficking panics perpetuated by media, including understanding the origins of human trafficking in the nineteenth-century White slave panic, the ways that popular media perpetuates stereotypes, the reality of trafficking at sporting events, and the role of social media in generating misinformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHuman Trafficking Hysteria \u003c\/em\u003eis a valuable resource for criminology and sociology classes, as well as special-topics classes on sex crimes, victimization, or the media.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSarah Hupp Williamson \u003c\/strong\u003eis an Associate Professor of Criminology at the University of West Georgia.
