Human trafficking U.S./Mexico border May 1, 2013 Abstract The human trafficking in the United States and U.S. border are having a very hard time in with the Cartel, Corruption, drugs and human trafficking. Today human trafficking is considered the modern slavery. Many Americans remain ignorant of human trafficking within the United States, believing that this inhumane act only occurs in third-world countries, but an estimated twenty-five million people are victims. Human trafficking is considered just another name for modern day slavery wherein the victims involved are forced, coerced and deceived in to labor, and sexual exploitation. There are millions of people who being into the United States.
The author opens the story with “Mandy stole my boyfriend, Tiny.” The first sentence already sets the story’s conflict and lets readers understand the plot right in the beginning. The story takes place on the streets of south Minneapolis and deals with the rough lives of Southeast Asian gangs in America. Focusing on the girls in those gangs, the author takes a step away from stereotypical male gang violence stories and places the audience in shoes of an Asian woman. Vang’s descriptive writing is depicted when the two black girls were mugged, “Nikki, my best friend, did a pretend karate kick she saw in a movie just to scare them as we approached cursing and threatening. She loved to perpetuate the myth that all Asians knew Kung Fu.
Benjamin Smith 9.18.2014 Event Participation #1 Tricked: A look inside America’s Sex Trade Documentary Tricked discusses in extent the ongoing debate of human-sex trafficking in America. Sex trafficking is a continuously-growing business in the criminal industry – earning revenues of over $3 billion per year – and that same amount of money being lost in police effort’s funding to stop this crime. The documentary looks at the point of view on the topic of sex trafficking from all angles – the victims, families, businessmen, customers, and the laws – and how the industry has affected their lives and efforts. Honestly, this documentary has completely changed my outlook on sex trafficking – mainly due to the fact that the film increased my knowledge on the topic in answering questions that I didn’t even know I had to ask. Sex trafficking is a much more serious crime than people think it is – a business of female empowerment that sell sexual services in exchange for money – when, however, it is an underground market of enslaved women forced into unwilling intercourse.
Human trafficking is also endemic within Indonesian society. Men, woman, and children are usually trafficked into the commercial sex trade. The latter case happened to a woman in Bandung. She forced to be a prostitute at a nightclub in Bandung. Tragically, she was “sold” by her mother.
Prof. P April 28, 2011 Modern Day Slavery in Mexico Mexico is a large source, transit, and destination country for persons trafficked for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor. Groups considered most vulnerable to human trafficking in Mexico include women and children, indigenous persons, and undocumented migrants. A significant number of Mexican women, girls, and boys are trafficked within the country for commercial sexual exploitation, lured by false job offers from poor rural regions to urban, border, and tourist areas. According to the government, more than 20,000 Mexican children (Report, 2009) are victims of sex trafficking every year, especially in tourist and border areas. This is a very serious issue and it is closer to home than we may think, a student-run news service called Cronkite News Service at the Arizona State University, shed the national spotlight on a new immigration problem plaguing the desert border towns of Arizona: so called “rape trees,” trees on the U.S. side of the border littered with women’s undergarments.
The Reality of Human Sex Trafficking Human sex trafficking has become a major international issue. Millions of people are abducted, transported, and exploited for money all over the world. The article “Rescued from Sex Slavery” published by CBS Broadcasting goes into detail about the world of sex slavery. In the article it talks about three different girls that were captured as sex slaves. 48 Hours correspondent Peter Van Sant traveled to Romania to pose as a sex trafficker.
After reading Kenneth Wooden’s book Weeping in the Playtime of Others: America’s Incarcerated Children, I was exposed to the devastating, heartbreaking truths about our corrupt legal system. I was never aware of the physical abuse, torture and exploitation experienced by juveniles staying in correctional facilities across America. What I found to be most disturbing is that many of these youths were not actually criminals, but runaways and mentally disabled and emotionally disturbed children. The graphic and specific nature of the descriptions was extremely unsettling because although they are events that occurred in the past, it is still recent enough to realize that what happened to these children was not terribly long ago. However, the gruesome treatment of juveniles has in
The demographic group most affected by the war on drugs and the incarceration boom are the juveniles. Youth who turn to drugs and alcohol abuse are faced with harsh reality at YSI Facilities, another branch of the private prison industry. Rather than being charged with fines appropriate to their offenses and being sent to rehabilitation or other forms of drug treatment, non-violent offenders are locked away with long, harsh sentences. This profit-driven war on drugs and other substance abuse ruins the lives of the inmates, turning them into harder criminals by exposing them to such environments. According to a project run by The Huffington Post, 40% of juvenile offenders sent to private prisons on account of drug related crimes are arrested and convicted of harsher crimes in less than a year from their release (Kirkham).

Furthermore, child maltreatment is a consequential social problem. Youth’s who either witnessed or endured violence and abuse in the home are much more likely than those from nonviolent homes to participate in similar behaviour elsewhere (Flowers, 2002). Lastly, the link between poor parental supervision and juvenile convictions are closely related. American studies have shown that parents who have ineffective and lax monitoring of their children displayed a consistent pattern of delinquency (Arthur, 2007). American criminologist Travis Hirschi makes “attachment” (Walsh, 1991:108) the backbone of his control theory of delinquency.
