Human Right’s Issue Origin: Recently, there have been many reports about human trafficking in Thailand. Many perverted people find that human trafficking is an easy way to make money. When they see lonely, vulnerable girls, they take advantage of them. Some girls may be willing to sell themselves and their bodies because they need to find a way to support themselves. When that is the case, the family and their children are also affected by that woman's decision. The families are scared for their lives. Trafficking is another form of violating human rights. Humans are not garbage, they don't get picked up on tuesdays and thursday to be brought to a center. People aren't supposed to own other people. People need to know that they are supposed to make their own decisions and not have someone else make it for them. Response of United States and United Nations (details and...

It was most commonly found in my research, there were more ineffective methods than effective ones. During the assessment I continually focus on the more positive ways to combat human trafficking because of the significant impact the positive results have been outweighing the negative and ineffective results. What was discovered is that the border patrol is an extremely answer to finding and preventing human trafficking over the Mexico/Arizona border and how they are trained and what is planned to make them better at defending the borders. Other ways that have been found most effective are charities and campaigns and charities that bring light to the human trafficking situation that have been shown to be very effective as well, though not as proactive. Throughout there will be provided evidence to give examples and proof of how well the strategies legitimately work, and what can be added to improve the effectiveness of the implemented policies.

...The Trafficking of Women and Children in China Imagine walking down the street to class, when all of a sudden two men come out from around the corner, grab you, and throw you into a van. After what feels like hours, the van finally arrives at a building and the men take you and put you in a small room, filled with frightened women and crying children of all ages. When asking another lady where they all were and what was going on, she explains that everyone in the room had been either sold or abducted and must now work as a prostitute to earn profits for the owners of the sex business. Human trafficking is the act of transporting, enlisting, or harboring an individual by use of force or intimidation for the sole purpose of exploitation (China). China is a source, transit, and destination country for thousands of women and children who have been either forced or sold into trafficking (China). Chinese women are often recruited by false promises of employment and are later forced into prostitution while children are often recruited by traffickers who promise their parents that they will send them a percentage of the money the child makes. Between 2001 and 2005, police in China investigated over 28,000 trafficking cases and the Chinese government arrested more than 25,000 suspected traffickers and rescued more than 35,000 victims (China). Despite this investigation, the Chinese government have not increased their efforts to stop trafficking since 2005 and claim that they...

...Using Research to Inform U.S. Anti-Human Trafficking Efforts by Maureen Q. McGough NIJ study examines the challenges facing the criminal justice system when combating human trafficking. T rafficking in persons is modernday slavery and exists in virtually every country in the world — and the United States is no exception.1 Almost 150 years after the 13th Amendment abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, there are still men, women and children enslaved into labor and commercial sexual exploitation in the U.S. (see sidebar, “Understanding ModernDay Slavery,” on page 27). In recent years the worldwide human trafficking problem has attracted significant political and social attention. Awareness-raising initiatives such as the United Nation’s Blue Heart Campaign2 encourage involvement and action to fight human trafficking on a global scale. In the U.S., the Department of Homeland Security’s Blue Campaign unites anti-human trafficking programs and offers resources for law enforcement and the public to help raise awareness and provide muchneeded training.3 Despite growing awareness of the issue and an influx of resources from such influential bodies as the United Nations and other intergovernmental organizations, foundations, nongovernmental organizations and the U.S. government, the field is still hampered by its inability to measure the size and scope of trafficking.4 The data used to estimate the prevalence of human trafficking in the U.S. are lacking in scope and...

...Human trafficking is defined as, “The illegal trade of human beings for the purposes of reproductive slavery, commercial sexual exploitation, forced labor, or a modern-day form of slavery.” Prostitution is defined as, “The act or practice of providing sexual services to another person in return for payment.” These two entities go hand in hand, as nearly four million people are trafficked every year into some form of prostitution. Humans are trafficked for other reasons, though, such as: forced labor, domestic servitude, and farm work. However, the number one reason for human trafficking is prostitution. The more shocking reality of the situation is that some countries tolerate prostitution. It is even legal in some places. In Copenhagen, Denmark, prostitution is rampant because of such decriminalization (Shubert). This profusion of illicit activity is the birth child of one thing, human trafficking. The fact that some countries allow acts of prostitution to be legal is dubious. Anyone forced into any acts that they don’t wish to participate in is having their civil liberties violated. If such violations are to be stopped, then one must look for the root of the root of the problem. The root seems to be lawful prostitution, because it only seems to welcome the idea of trafficking unwilling individuals into positions in which they don’t want to be in. Conversely, some individuals are wholly willing to participate in acts of prostitution. However, these people shouldn’t be put at...

...INDONESIAN; USE A CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FOR ANTI TRAFFICKING CRIME CHAPTER I-INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Indonesia is a source, transit, and destination country for women, children, and men trafficked for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor. The greatest threat of trafficking facing Indonesian men and women is that posed by conditions of forced labor and debt bondage in more developed Asian countries and the Middle East. The government stopped permitting Indonesian women to travel to Japan and South Korea as “cultural performers,” to curtail a practice that led to victims being trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation. However, in 2007 traffickers increasingly used false documents, including passports, to obtain tourist visas for women and girls who are subsequently forced into prostitution in Japan, through the unlawful exploitation of recruitment debts as high as $20,000 each. Trafficking of young girls to Taiwan as brides, mainly from West Kalimantan, persisted. Traffickers use false marriage licenses and other false documentation in order to obtain visas and subsequently force the women and girls into prostitution. Women from the People’s Republic of China, Thailand, and Eastern Europe are trafficked to Indonesia for commercial sexual exploitation, although the numbers are small compared with the number of Indonesians trafficked for this purpose. The Government of Indonesia does not fully comply with the...

...| Human Trafficking | Business Law II | Dr. Annette Whitby | | | | Amanda Ransdell 4/25/2013 Outline Introduction: Human trafficking is the fastest increasing criminal industry in today’s world, coming in second after illegal drug-trade. This type of slavery has been traced back to the ancient Mesopotamian and Mediterranean civilization and has continued to grow. What is human trafficking? Commonly referred to as "modern-day slavery" is the illegal trade of human beings in return for labor or for exploitation (Sex Trafficking in the U.S., 2013). “Trafficking in persons” means 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.

...years that had a worldwide impact. Discussion on how globally criminal justice system handled the crime and my opinion on the effectiveness of the systems response and it will include suggestions for future interventions to combat or prevent these crimes. In the last two decades, the world economy has globalized, so has its illicit counterpart. The global impact of transnational crime has grown to a massive level. Criminal groups have developed new technologies and adapted parallel network structures that are difficult to trace and stop that it has expanded their activities. The result has been an unparalleled of international crime (The "International Crime Threat Assessment). Here in the United States we have hundreds of individuals who enter illegally daily. These individuals bring with them drugs, firearms, contraband, and human trafficking of people, which hits the streets of the communities and businesses. These crimes are not a local problem they are an international issue also, which have become a worldwide threat. There are numerous crimes that fall under the umbrella of transnational crime, which includes some of the crimes that were mentioned earlier. These crimes have a significant impact on the Criminal Justice System and how plans are developed to combat this threat.

...Sex trafficking is an issue that frequently occurs around the world. However, despite how prominent this issue is, currently there are not many solutions to fix it. The solutions that currently exist focus on these issues as an individual problem. Sex trafficking is not an issue that stems from an individual level, but rather is an unforeseen consequence of globalization that furthers gender inequalities because of denied economic opportunities and the increased exposure to violence. Globalization creates populations that become vulnerable to sex trafficking around the world. In order to truly understand the causes of sex trafficking, one must look at the larger issues at hand rather than trying to blame an individual or small group of people....
