    Did you know human trafficking is the fastest increasing criminal industry in todays world, coming in second after illegal drug-trade? This type of vicious crime is considered as a modern day slavery where human beings are being traded illegally for forced labor or for exploitation. Contrary to popular beliefs, it not only exists in foreign countries, but in fact in the United States as well. I chose this topic because human trafficking is a growing problem in contemporary society which needs to be well known. An approximate of 17,500 foreigners are trafficked each year in the United States alone, the number of U.S citizens trafficked within the United States are surprisingly even higher. It is acknowledged that women and young…

    Thesis: Human trafficking in the United States seems to be overlooked and not taken very seriously. Close to 20,000 women and children are trafficked in the US yearly. There seems to be nothing that can be done about it. Most times the victims are never heard from or seen again leaving very little of their known existence behind. Many think that this only happens in foreign countries, but many have been rudely awakened. According to the US Department of State, human trafficking is any situation where one person “holds another person in compelled service” (2011). 2010 was the first year the US actually ranked itself in the Trafficking in Persons Report alongside other countries; this shows just how much this crime has been overlooked until recently.…

    While I entered this course with a fair degree of background knowledge on human trafficking, I still learned a great deal more about the scholarly discourse, controversies, and policy implications through my professor, guest speakers, and fellow classmates. Although the SAFE Center was not the most communicative or responsive client, each team still managed to receive any desired information in order to efficiently address the client’s needs. Regrettably, my team experience presented the biggest challenges in the class for me, but I endeavor to learn from those challenges in an effort to prevent future teamwork issues.…

    This includes: recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons. Contrary to some misconceptions, human trafficking crimes do not require any smuggling or movement of the victim. While undocumented migrants are particularly vulnerable to coercion because of their fear of authorities, traffickers have demonstrated their ability to exploit other vulnerable populations and have preyed just as aggressively on documented guest workers and U.S. citizen children. Second, is the element of how trafficking is executed. Also known as the means or in other words, how it is done. This element can vary from threat or use of force, coercion, abduction, fraud, and deception, abuse of power or vulnerability, or giving payments or benefits to a person in control of the victim. Lastly, the third element consist of the purpose of exploitation, which includes exploiting the prostitution of others, sexual exploitation, forced labor, slavery or similar practices and the removal of…
