Broken Little Flowers

A Decade Devoted to Putting Pedophiles Behind Bars

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Author Christian Guth pulls you into the strange, dark world of pursuing pedophiles and delivering justice to their child victims - the trampled and broken "Little Flowers." Pedocriminals operate around the globe, in our homes or on the streets, but Guth took them on in Cambodia, a place they thought was paradise: a war-torn land, impoverished families and orphans, police and judiciary corruption, and zero government programs to stop them. That changed in 2000, when UNICEF hired Guth, a former police commander working in the French embassy in Phnom Penh, to help battle the rampant pedophilia and trafficking. Guth set up a special police unit with a network across Cambodia and eventually beyond its borders. Overcoming nepotism, collaborators and other barriers, he helped put thousands of sex offenders behind bars. Without pathos or voyeurism, Guth writes of the cases that affected him most. Some show the misery their young victims faced, others illustrate how pedophiles slip into a community and operate. He also brings up NGOs, shadowy "adoption agencies," child labor and prostitution, but his focus is on pedocriminals and how he took action against them. For parents wanting to protect their children, for law enforcement, criminologists, social workers or simply concerned citizens, this book will help you, too, in the fight against one of the most despicable forms of criminality that exists.
