For the data collection mini-project, the researcher is proposing two qualitative tools (in-depth interview guides) for two kinds of informants: first, victims of human trafficking, with equal number of interviews between males and females; and second, experts on the issue of human trafficking to provide insights on the reliability, validity, and usefulness of data on the topic, published and shared in the public fora.

According to Yen, "She was enslaved for twelve years, servicing mostly American men. To keep the children obedient, her traffickers frequently abused them psychologically and physically" (p. 653). Although truly alarming, this case is certainly not unique and Yen stresses that children ranging in age

SOLUTIONS for COPING WITH HUMAN TRAFFICKING CRIMES The work of Roger Plant entitled: "Economic and Social Dimension of Human Trafficking: Broadening the Perspective" states that the "narrowest perspective, actually quite widely held is that trafficking concerns essentially the sexual exploitation of women and children.

The interview questions I submitted to my interview subjects asked them to define human trafficking, identify
