...The commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age. When I say sex trafficking, what image does your mind conjure? A female from a developing country being snatched off the street, shipped around the world and living in the back of a massage parlor being manipulated into doing sexual favors to eat? Although unfortunately, this story is extremely common, many sex trafficking victims are US-born children. Why do we know more about our president's obnoxious tweets, than children being sold into sex slavery on Polk or O'farrell street? Why can’t the people of The United States and more specifically San Francisco attack sex trafficking the same way...

...Human Trafficking in the United States Human trafficking has been an ongoing issue in the United States affecting millions of innocent lives each day. The practice of this so called modern slavery has evolved in a completely inhumane way and it is an activity as old as history itself. Our society is one where the atrocious beatings owners gave their slaves are considered history. We live in a society that knows little about the severity of a crime that is still alive today and that is gaining momentum around the world. Human trafficking for sexual and economic exploitation is related to the development model that adopts the world. This model is based on an understanding of competitiveness that pushes a steady reduction in labor costs. In the past, slaves were captured by enemy groups and sold as a commodity. Today, poverty makes people socially vulnerable while ensuring supply of skilled labor for trafficking - while the demand for this workforce maintains the trade of people. This cycle attracts intermediaries such as "cats" (contractors who draw people to be exploited on farms and charcoal), the "coyotes" (who specialize in transporting people across the border between Mexico and the United States) and other "animals" that profit on those seeking a better life. This is a trade that takes place around the world, involving women, youth and children from third world countries. Many of them trying to escape from a life of poverty and war in an attempt to reach the...

...between various interests within a society. These theories focus on power struggles and typically view the less fortunate and less powerful as victims. They see crime victims as exploited and as the prey of the strong and powerful. Changes in laws and economic conditions are often the remedies they seek for victims.” (Hutton, 2009) The feminist perspective will integrate gender into the equation as a means to explain the occurrence of crime. According to Dr. Erica Hutton, who is a full time Professor and Forensic Psychologist in Angola, Indiana, “Effective policy implications include approaching the criminal justice system from an angle that examines the gender inequalities within sentencing and treatment as well as within the human resource aspects of hiring candidates that are not masculine within a predominantly masculine organization.” (Hutton, 2009) “With respect to domestic violence, Congress received evidence for the following findings: 1.) “Three out of four American women will be victims of violent crimes sometime during their life.” H. R. Rep. No. 103—395 p. 25 (1993) (citing U.S. Dept. of Justice, Report to the Nation on Crime and Justice 29 (2d ed. 1988). 2.) “Violence is the leading...

...“Slavery is something from the past,” most people think this way. However, human trafficking is the modern-day slavery. No matter how much the namings differ, it has the same concept. It is the crime of smuggling, fraud, selling of humans or their living organs and threating its victims. Crimes have been all around us, ranging from big to small, but not as serious as this one; especially that it became more extreme after the rise of technologies. Technologies, around the world, have worked and still do in making everyone’s life more efficient; also, it made life easier for human traffickers to gain what they want and justice systems to catch them red-handed. Human traffickers have used the Internet to broaden their fishing pool. It gave them...

...Human Dignity without a Price Tag Campaign The Need There is no uniform definition of human trafficking and no consent regarding aspects that this problem entails. The United Nations Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children defines human trafficking as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation. The U.S. Department of State estimates that about 600,000 to 800,000 people, mostly women and children, are trafficked across national borders annually. If trafficking within a country’s borders is included, this figure drastically increases to approximately 2 to 4 million people, according to official U.S. estimates. Furthermore, it is estimated that 17,500 to 20,000 victims are trafficked into the U.S. annually, with Florida receiving a high percentage of those victims. Trafficked victims generally tend to flow from less developed countries to more industrialized nations to neighboring countries with higher standards of living. The impact of modern-day slavery goes beyond the individual victims; it undermines the health, safety and security of all nations it touches. It is currently...

...Michelle Speed Sex Exploitation/Human Trafficking Speech Mr. Cox P4 11/8/15 "They forced me to sleep with as many as 50 customers a day. I had to give [the pimp] all my money. If I did not [earn a set amount] they punished me by removing my clothes and beating me with a stick until I fainted, electrocuting me, cutting me.", says a sex trafficking survivor from Cambodia according to equalitynow.org The 13th Amendment states," Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist in the United States, or any other place subject to jurisdiction.", Though this amendment is an important one, this basic right to freedom is still violated by so many today. Human trafficking is the trading or transporting of people for the purpose of work. This modern day slavery brings just about thirty-two billion dollars annually. Very few people realize that this occurs right in front of us everyday. So many young people are taken from their average lives and forced into slavery for sexual purposes. Girls and women make up ninty-eight percent of sex exploitation in human trafficking alone. Before, victims were teens left alone or run aways, now most victims are from a “caring” family who happened to be pulled in by an experienced predator. ABC news quotes FBI Deputy Assistant Director, Chip Burrus, “These predators are particularly adept at reading children, at reading kids, and knowing what their vulnerabilities...

...Worldwide Must Place More Focus On Human Trafficking A collection of current articles regarding human trafficking has been collected throughout this semester. The news reports vary greatly in geographic location but the underlying message that these events share is unified and clear. Governments worldwide must create specialized agencies, victim relief units, and allocate more funds towards the understanding and prevention of this growing crime. Due to the complexity of human trafficking, non-traditional law enforcement must be used. As stated in several of the articles gathered, a growing need for information sharing between organizations has become necessary. With enhanced human trafficking policies and implementation; accurate crime statistics can be gathered, victims can be identified, perpetrators can be prosecuted, and organized crime patterns can be seen. This paper will be broken down into several components that cover this multi-faceted, illegal industry. First, a description and definition of human trafficking will be given. The current prevention methods will follow, including rough statistics gathered around the world. Next, I will outline the difficulties that law enforcement encounter with human trafficking. The strategies for improvement will make up the bulk of the paper. Human trafficking has been deemed the 21st century slave trade. Inadequate laws against trafficking and police negligence have allowed for this human rights violation to develop into...
