Escape is difficult for the victims of trafficking because victims are “invisible”. In most cases, victims cannot speak the native language and are afraid to approach authorities out of fear of being deported. Most of the time, victims have no idea where they are or how to get help. Illiteracy, unemployment, poverty, child matrimony, domestic violence and hazardous migration are presumed to be foremost causes for the quick-growing rate of illegal human trafficking (1). The United Nations has previously helped to develop effective law enforcement and criminal justice institutions.
Cocaine Kids showed how society views most drug dealer, with stereotyping them as gangsters with big gold rope necklaces, fresh kicks, and nice cars. It was a bigger chance that the Cocaine Kids would get caught because of where they lived, the areas that they stayed in promoted drug use. There was more of a risk of being caught for drug dealing that is why certain extensive procedures were followed in Cocaine Kids. It was to the degree of the market almost having its own “miniature society with institutions, laws, morality, language codes in behaviors of its own.” (Williams, pg.2). A person would think people with money would be looked down upon because they buy these illegal drugs but there is less stigmatizing because they have disposable money.
Mexico To USA Migration Push Factors There are incredibly high crime rates in Mexico, especially in the capital and drug related crimes are a major concern. It is thought that in the past five years, 47,500 people have been killed in crimes relating to drugs. Many Mexicans will move out of fear for their lives and hope that America is a more stable place to live, with lower crime rates. Unemployment and poverty is a major problem in Mexico and has risen dramatically in recent years. A large portion of the Mexican population are farmers, living in rural areas where extreme temperatures and poor quality land make it difficult to actually farm.
Human trafficking is a form of modern day slavery and is the fastest growing criminal industry in the world (Human Trafficking into and within the united States: A Review of the Literature, 2013). The human trafficking it consists of recruitment, transporting, harboring or kidnapping of persons by means of threat, force, coercion abduction, or deception for the purposes of exploitation. This exploitation consist of, at a minimum of, prostitution of others forced labor or services, slavery or forms of, and the possible removal and selling of human organs (Human Trafficking into and within the united States: A Review of the Literature, 2013). The traffickers most often transport individuals to unfamiliar
(pg. 34) Human trafficking is the trade of humans for the purpose of slavery, labor or the removal of organs. It is a lucrative industry representing billions each year and it affects every country and most socio-economic levels. Traffickers have initiated a market for the trade of humans based on the high returns for sex and low priced labor. Human trafficking affects over 161 countries worldwide.
Organized Crime CJA 384 October 28, 2012 Organized crime is systematic, illegal activity for profit. I would describe organized crime as a crime operation in which every move is carefully planned. I have always thought of organized crime as “smart crime,” the type of crime that doesn’t leave traces and the end result leaves everyone involved with significant amounts of cash. Loan sharking, extortion, and racketeering are the types of crimes that I think of as being the most common with these criminal groups. However, drug smuggling and weapons trafficking are also quite common.
While some people enjoy their wealthy and free lives with their families, other people live in suffering, being separated from their families and trafficked. Trafficking is not a new phenomena; it’s called “as old as trade itself” by Maggy Lee (1), a senior lecturer in the Department of Sociology at the University of Essex and Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Hongkong. Now, trafficking is a widely debated issue in many fields such as criminology, law, human rights, sociology, gender studies, and public health (Lee 2). International governments are concerned about this particular issue. Although governments try to prevent trafficking from happening, trafficking happens every day, everywhere.
The Advantages of Legalizing Prostitution: Contrary to popular belief, there are various advantageous to legalizing prostitution that have proven to be effective in various regions of the world. It is often argued that the greatest benefit of legalizing prostitution is the increase in workplace safety for a sex worker. Sex workers in developed and developing nations alike have been known to be victims of various types of abuse and as a result of being outside the realm of the protection of the law, have often little to no rights or any form of protection. The legalization of prostitution allows for prostitution to be regulated and thus provide sex workers with a sense of legitimacy. This sense of legitimacy is important because in many societies, the topic of prostitution is a highly contentious one and very taboo.
This sort of sexual exploitation in the form of human trading, is bring notoriety to its name and a lot of countries consider Pakistan as one of the major trafficker and blame it as a reason for this ghastly crime accompanying other countries and even United States Department of state recently raised a finger at Pakistan for being a base area of this deplorable business. Poverty is the leading cause of this slavery, and it’s evident that poverty leads to uneducation resulting in increased unemployment giving rise to such trafficking cases in society. Besides human trafficking is one of those serious crimes which is globally considered as the major cause of a fact that majority of the people carrying HIV/AIDS virus are women. Many women and children are unaware of risks associated when they intentionally opt for selling their bodies. So it is our government’s duty to establish public awareness campaigns on this issue because no nation is unaffected to this crime.
Causes and effects of human trafficking Causes and effects of human trafficking, no doubt, can be quite devastating to the socio-economic developing of any country where the nefarious scourge rages and that is more rampant in the poor nations of Africa, Asia and Latin America. Which way one looks at it, apparently traffic or young African women and children to Europe and the Middle East for commercial sexual exploitation is a very great phenomenon. They are often lured by promises of steady employment as shopkeepers, housemaids, seamstress, nannies or hotel service positions and attendants in the major European countries and are eventually forced into prostitution on getting to the destination. Many of these unfortunate victims of human trafficking in most of the cases may not be aware that they will be forced into commercial sex trade or their travel documents particularly passports will be seized or that would have to pay a very huge debt if they eventually renege have to pay and subject to brutal beatings and serious bodily harm if the income they bring to the their captives is inadequate. The very highly sensitive diabolical network, mostly dominated by the Nigerian organized crime kingpins have also extended their nefarious operations into Benin Republic, Togo, Guinea, Mali, and presently to most of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) countries.
