title = "Tracing the emergence of ICT-enabled human trafficking for ransom",
abstract = "A new form of the commoditization of human beings, called {\textquoteleft}human trafficking for ransom{\textquoteright}, emerged in 2009. It involves the “abduction, extortion, sale, torture, sexual violation and killing of men, women and children” for the purpose of extortion (Van Reisen & Rijken, 2015, p. 1). This form of trafficking utilizes information and communication technologies (ICTs) as part of its modus operandi. How the technical innovations of ICTs relate to (and facilitate) this crime is important for a proper understanding of this new form of human trafficking. This chapter aims to shed light on this relationship.",
