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. The sex industry, domestic workers, and so-called 'sweatshops' are all common sites of human trafficking. "Trafficking in persons is defined as: sex trafficking in which a commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such act has not attained 18 years of age; or the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage or slavery" (Human trafficking, 2013, ICE).
Most victims of trafficking are young and female. By far, the majority of them (43% of victims) are conscripted into the sex industry and 98% of these are female. The crime is international in scope: "People are reported to be trafficked from 127 countries to be exploited in 137 countries, affecting every continent and every type of economy" (Human trafficking:...
Its victims are young, usually female, and often illegal immigrants who have been lured into de facto slavery with the promise of work and passage into the United States. Its victims maybe living next door as forced domestic labor, working in the sex industry, or forced to work in menial, manual occupations. Because of the fear and intimidation used to keep the victims in a state of submission, as well as the difficulties in tracing women without known identities in the United States, bringing this crime to light has been a challenge for law enforcement agencies. The phenomenon has also been under-studied because of the secrecy around the practice.
With this in mind, this qualitative research study will attempt to give voice to the voiceless and conduct a study recounting the experiences of women who have been the victims of human trafficking and have been released from their situations. This will provide an important narrative context for the law enforcement and sociological research that has been conducted on the phenomenon to date.
Background of study
The study participants will be limited to a certain degree, given that the majority of victims are likely not…

Human Trafficking: An Ethnographic Study Opening Statement Human trafficking is not a problem that only affects developing nations. Every nation and region of the globe is plighted by the problem of human trafficking, including the world's wealthiest countries. In fact, it is often the wealthy nations that provide the lucrative market that drives human trafficking to begin with. "Human trafficking represents perhaps the worst form of labor exploitation and can be regarded
Measurement and Instruments for a Quantitative Research Plan: Human Trafficking For a study into human trafficking and how many people end up being trafficked every year, quantitative measurement is necessary. Qualitative methods could be used, but they would be better suited toward providing insight into the feelings of those who were trafficked, as opposed to the prevalence of the trafficking problem itself (Creswell, 2003; Given, 2008). Since there are several options
Human Trafficking-Quali tool Qualitative Study on Human Trafficking (with Gender Analysis) 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
Anchored on the research objective of determining differences, if there are any, in human trafficking rates between male and female adults, the researcher will develop a tool (in-depth interview guide) that will cull out important insights into the issue of human trafficking, from the perspective of both the victims and representatives from organizations/agencies on preventing it. An in-depth interview is the appropriate qualitative data collection method, as the issue of human
Roles of Theory in Qualitative Research & Application Qualitative Research Write a two page Journal entry on how well you are understanding the roles of theory in qualitative research and how this applies to your Final Project and to your Dissertation. Thinking About Qualitative Research Theory. Qualitative research approaches are grounded in theoretical frameworks that make certain assumptions about the world, about how qualitative research is best conducted, and about the type of
These practices include: selective hiring, employment security, self-managed team, extensive training, sharing information, diminution of status differences, and stipulation of high pay contingent on organizational performance. Other authors analyzed by Chang and Huang sustain that SHRM benefits company both directly and indirectly as it modifies passivity into initiative by clearly communicating organizational goals and encouraging the participation of line-managers. In addition, by generating structural cohesion, defined as "an employee-generated synergy
