The Dark Figure

2019

$32.00
First edition first impression in new condition, no markings, this is a new book, please see pics, PayPal accepted, any questions please get in touch.   In 2015, the UK Government passed the Modern Slavery Act, a new piece of legislation which would raise awareness of the existence of slavery in the 21st century, while highlighting the growing number of cases of forced labour, human trafficking and sexual exploitation across the country. In 2017, the National Crime Agency (NCA) included 5,145 potential victims of modern slavery in their Strategic Assessment, nearly 2,000 more than in 2015. This number is determined by victims who have been encountered by authorities, and further testify, but does not include potential victims who either do not testify, or who are not known to the NCA. The hidden nature of modern slavery makes it likely that many such cases are unknown. By analysing the overlaps between known cases, statistician Professor Bernard Silverman has estimated “the dark figure” of cases that have not yet come to attention. This estimation concludes there are between 10,000 and 13,000 potential victims of modern slavery in the UK today. The Dark Figure* documents neighborhoods where modern slavery crimes have taken place. Information has been included wherever possible, but can be limited as cases unfold. I hope that by presenting a case-by-case geographic study, we are able to find meaning in this newly coined phrase “modern slavery”, so it is at least possible to consider what might be involved in Bernard Silverman’s “the dark figure”.
