Der Mädchenhandel

The author examines the trafficking of young women as an organized commercial phenomenon, outlining its export, import and transit forms, profiles of traffickers and victims, and methods of recruitment and seduction. He analyzes prostitution, regulatory systems and institutional causes, presents case examples and inspections, and reviews historical, legal, police and international responses. Emphasizing information, agitation and organization, he proposes preventive and legislative measures and argues that elimination of regulated brothels is essential to reduce and ultimately end the trade.
