For instance, Michael Burger, The Shaping of Western Civilization: From Antiquity to the Enlightenment (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2008), 57. This number represents the total number of deportees that Neo-Assyrian texts record, and multiple sources cite it. Other scholars consider this number excessive. For example, “Estimates of the overall number of people deported in the [Neo-Assyrian] period range from 1.5 to 4.5 million. But even the lower of these figures is commonly considered to be impossibly high, not least because of the logistical problem facing the Assyrian administration in moving, in the largest contingent, some 208,000 persons.” Peter R. Bedford, “The Neo-Assyrian Empire,” in The Dynamics of Ancient Empires: State Power from Assyria to Byzantium (ed. Ian Morris and Walter Seidel; osee; Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2009), 33. Whatever the actual total, the Neo-Assyrian Empire practiced kidnapping on a greater scale than the ancient Near East had ever witnessed.

“Black’s (1990) law dictionary defines a pimp as someone who obtains customers for a prostitute. The reality of most pimps, however, is that they use manipulation, threats, and violence to keep prostitutes from leaving the trade and live entirely off the women they recruit. Research has consistently revealed that pimps are often perpetrators of violence against prostituted women.” Alexis M. Kennedy et al, “Routes of Recruitment: Pimps’ Techniques and Other Circumstances That Lead to Street Prostitution,” Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma 15, no. 2 (November 2007): 5.
