This handbook is the outcome of experience and understanding of an officer, Mr. P.M.Nair, who is perhaps the best judge to know exactly what is required to evolve an understanding and sensitivity that can guide the Law Enforcement Agencies in India. While this is a book to consult when officers need to apply existing laws, it is as much an orientation that takes one through the processes involved in trafficking, available legalities, scope of existing laws and sensitized application of the same. The substantive content of this manual reflects the actual felt needs of the law enforcement agencies and clarifies concepts pertaining to this area. It seeks to work around debunking existing common parlance ideas and perceptions that invariably went against trafficked women and children, together with the processes of rehabilitation.
