Human Trafficking
Governments are not doing enough to eradicate human trafficking. There are several contributing factors to the lack of action on this issue. The first is that it is not a singular issue -- there are a number of sub-issues including prostitution, organized crime, child labor and illegal immigration. Each of these is a significant issue on its own that demands action, but it also creates a diversity of individual challenges under the rubric of human trafficking, presenting a challenge for tackling the issue in any sort of coordinated way.
A further problem is that human trafficking often involves moving people across borders. Thus, tackling the problem requires multinational cooperation, and this is usually between countries that are wealthy and those that are not. There are a host of jurisdictional problems that arise, and beyond that many of the poorer countries will choose to dedicate whatever funds they have to challenges that affect people who are still within their...
It can be difficult to motivate many of the source nations to act on this issue, even though it has a negative impact on their economies as well.
Domestically, another problem is that many domestic interests benefit from human trafficking. A recent study highlighted the problem -- businesses will employ bonded labor at lower costs -- and the result is political inaction. There is also a social stigma attached. Many affected individuals in the United States are women, and they are forced into sexual slavery. For politicians -- a male-dominated group -- there is little incentive to work hard for these people. They are not voters, and that is before issues of race, gender and class enter into the equation. The result is that there is low prioritization among law enforcement as well, especially in the area of funding. The relatively low visibility of the crime contributes significantly to the lack of police resources, because in many instances voters want to see…
Human Trafficking Developing a Quantitative Research Plan Human trafficking: A grounded theory approach According to the ICE, human trafficking is one of the darkest and most heinous crimes the agency investigates. Human beings are 'smuggled' into the country and forced to operate under conditions similar to that of modern-day slavery.

Human Trafficking: Comparative Analysis of Human Trafficking in the United States with the World Stephanie I. Specialized Field Project Human Trafficking is a very serious issue that affects every country around the world.

Human Trafficking in Ukraine Even with the fact that law enforcement agencies from around the world have experienced significant progress during recent years, the problem of human trafficking continues to represent a threat. Ukraine is one of the locations concealing men, women, and children traffic with the purpose of commercial gain resulting from their exploitation through sex and through forced labor. While the Ukrainian authorities go through great efforts in order
Presently, many jurisdictions incarcerate the victims and then export them as illegal aliens to the same conditions that made them candidates for trafficking in the first purpose. In the process these poor individuals are victimized again at the hands of the law enforcement officials. It is an unbroken circle. Efforts are on the way such as in the European Union to adopt a more enlightened approach but there is
Human Trafficking People are taken every day from their homes and off of the streets and sold either into prostitution or slavery. It would seem that something so egregious could not happen in a law abiding, civilized country such as the United States, but more people are taken every year, and the exact numbers of people who are taken through human trafficking is not known. In this small paper, an analysis
