In the 1990s, Cambodia was a favorite hunting ground for international pedophiles. There was no shortage of impoverished children, and thanks to police and judiciary corruption, sexual predators operated with impunity, and human traffickers scoured the destitute villages to supply fresh meat? to brothels and to neighboring countries.
But in 2000, under the auspices of UNICEF and other international organizations, and the top hierarchies of Cambodian government, police commander Christian Guth became the architect and advisor of a special police unit to fight against pedophilia, sex crimes and child trafficking.
In this book, Guth recounts the ten years he devoted to putting sex criminals and traffickers behind bars. Choosing the cases that most affected him personally and professionally, he humanizes the child victims ? the broken Little Flowers? ? by sharing their stories with you. And by skillfully weaving in his impressions of Cambodian life and customs, its traumatic history and sociocultural norms, and myriad intriguing details of pursuing and prosecuting pedocriminals, readers come away with a better understanding of sexual exploitation of all kinds, everywhere.
For these crimes are not limited to Cambodia, especially with modern technology and globalization easing the path for predators. This book therefore serves as a rich documentary resource for law enforcement and human services professionals, for academics, concerned parents and citizens on how to fight, anywhere, one of the most despicable forms of criminality that exists.
