Abstract
This paper discusses the trafficking of women, the use of force and deception to transfer women into situations of extreme exploitation especially sexual exploitation: Women forced to dance nude, perform as sex slaves, held as indentured servants, perform acts of prostitution. The paper points out that the trafficking of women and children for sex and labor is prevalent in all regions of the United States and around the globe. The author feels that the most effective way to tackle trafficking is at the grass roots level, strengthening local economies and educating women and their families about the dangers of enslavement.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Robert Merton?s anomie theory explains crime in terms of inequity between culturally approved goals and the means to achieve those goals. The lure of trafficking women is like the lure of trafficking drugs: Easy money and the fulfillment of financial goals. Clearly, traffickers of women do not have equal access or legitimate means of obtaining society?s bounty. Since this is an individualist theory, the trafficker does not blame society; rather he blames himself for his shortcomings."

From the Paper
"Complex problems require complex solutions and it is clear that the United States alone will only be able to do so much in the battle against the enormous international human rights crisis of sex trafficking in children today. Fortunately, the United States as well as more and more members of the international community are recognizing that simply enacting new laws in isolation of more comprehensive solutions will fail to adequately address the insidious problems associated with sex trafficking. According to Mathews (2005), in an attempt to supplement the various legal and political initiatives underway to fight the sex trafficking industry, the United States has sought the assistance of a number of human rights groups and other nongovernmental organizations (Mathews, 2005). For example, Gary Haugen, director of the human rights group, International Justice Mission (IJM), is a former federal prosecutor who uses controversial tactics to infiltrate the underground network of sex trafficking; IJM was recently awarded a million dollar grant from the U.S. government to continue its work (Mathews, 2005)."

Abstract
The paper discusses the observation that young African-American women have a higher proclivity to sell drugs than other races such as their young Caucasian counterparts. The paper examines studies that shows this relationship between at risk behaviors and young African-American women. The paper also looks at research that explores how early adolescence affects African-American women later in adulthood insofar as drug-related problems are concerned. The paper discusses a proposed study that will determine the degree to which poverty and economic related circumstances contribute to drug trafficking in a specific urban center among the young African-American female population.

Introduction
II. Literature Review
III. Methodology
From the Paper
"This research project is designed to identify the primary factors related to the high incidence rate of young African American women who commonly sell drugs or engage in drug trafficking activity in the nation's urban centers. The working hypothesis states that poverty and related economic factors directly impact the study populations' proclivity to engage in drug trafficking as an economic alternative. While this might seem criminally obvious, there are social and cultural implications related to the study outcomes which the criminal justice system must learn to accommodate for such as devising adequate drug treatment programs for repeat offenders that better assess and target the contributing behaviors (Laudet, Cleland, Magura, Vogel & Knight, 2004).

Abstract
Trafficking in women and children has become one of the most profitable industries in the world for organized crime rings. This trade is a multi-billion dollar one, which is why it attracts a lot of men, especially as they need no experience or certificates. This paper shows that the growth in the size and number of this type of organized crimes has become a threat to the safety of women and children. Also, it threatens the status of women and their great role in developing societies. The paper shows that trafficking in women negatively affects the community as a whole, since half of the population of any society is viewed as a sexual commodity to be sold. Therefore, governments should enforce stricter penalties for people participating in the white slave trade.
From the Paper
"Although the law has responded to the crisis of white slavery by criminalizing it, the laws have not effectively stopped or even reduced the size of the human traffic trade because there are controversial and vague wordings in the laws themselves. This is pointed out by Jo Doezema in his analysis of the use of the word "consent" as differentiating between whether a type of work is legal or illegal. For instance, the law states that white slavery is a form of non-consented trafficking in human beings for the purpose of exploiting their labour or their bodies (21-22). This word of non-consent is a problem because it is implying that the 'consented' exploitation of human beings and their 'consented' slavery is acceptable (Doezema 21-22). The fact is that this vagueness of the use of the word consent, rather than criminalizing all forms of white slavery, is abused by human traffickers to continue their trade in human life and body."

Abstract
This paper is about the drug trafficking problems of the Caribbean. The author examines the Caribbean region as a long standing area where illegal substances have been grown and sold. The people are poverty stricken and sell drugs as a means to make money. The author looks into the Caribbean?s climate and location which make it an ideal place to grow and sell drugs. The people are able to transport drugs to other countries through the use of planes, boats, etc. The paper goes on to discuss how this poses as a threat to all countries because it makes drugs available which leads to drug problems for their citizens.
From the paper:
"The Caribbean is known for its agriculturally equipped weather conditions, which makes for most islands to be very fertile. Many farmers in the Caribbean grow drugs as part of their produce to earn more money. They can then sell the illegal substances to islanders, tourists, and then ship the rest off to be sold to other countries? citizens. This poses as a threat to the health of all people who are able to buy drugs as a result of drug trafficking in the Caribbean. It also poses a threat to governments because they have to use their funding on programs to educate citizens about the dangers of drugs as well as rehabilitate those citizens that are addicted to drugs and suffer from drug abuse."

Abstract
This paper presents the opening statement of the debate that human sex trafficking as an accepted part of society and human sex trafficking can be addressed with success in the social order. The author contends that, while the argument suggesting that sex trafficking cannot be addressed effectively in society does have merit, the strength of the argument supporting an end to sex trafficking is supported by greater evidence. The paper concludes that through government intervention, public participation and an aggressive approach to the issue, sex trafficking can be ended in society without question.

Introduction
Statement Accepting the Issue
Statement in Opposition
Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to Matthews, the sex trafficking business is supported by conditions in society that are detrimental to human existence (sec. 1). Poverty, homelessness and hunger are only a few of these conditions. These factors serve to support sex trafficking because often times children leave their homes and become part of the sex trafficking trade because they are promised a better life than they presently know. Parents sell their children to sex traffickers in many countries because the prices that are offered will provide food for the remaining siblings. "

From the Paper
"Trafficking, debt bondage, forced labor, and other abuse commonly suffered by women during migration from Thailand to Japan, as well as their employment in Japan is stated to "constitute violations of the human rights of the women." Further stated is that "These rights are enumerated in international conventions that Japan and Thailand have acceded to or ratified, thereby committing their governments to take the steps necessary to uphold these rights and to provide redress when violations occur." Discrimination suffered in the two countries is illustrated by the numbers of women who suffer and yet the international obligations of the government to check the facilitation of these crimes by the government officials reflects that discriminatory protection in human rights issues. The violation of prohibiting discrimination in the human rights protection is clearly a violation of the laws set out by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (IPPCR)."

Prostitution and Human Trafficking, 2008.
This paper discusses the topic of prostitution and human trafficking in Europe, noting the difficulty in analyzing the issue due to the hardship in obtaining relevant information.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that tackling the issue of human trafficking and prostitution in Europe is a difficult one because the information available is rarely comprehensive or complete. The writer points out that prostitution is, for the most part, an underground economy, which is harder to collect statistical information about, and illegal immigrant prostitution is an even murkier research landscape. This paper attempts to deconstruct arguments made about human trafficking and prostitution in Europe. Sources used are academic texts and journals, as well as some more mainstream content. This paper imparts some idea as to how awkwardly large the question is, as well as the challenges that researchers will face when collecting data and suggesting new policies that might ease the suffering of women caught up in the vicious circles of immigrant prostitution in Europe.
From the Paper
"Bort believes that it is important to discuss the existing correlations will help people discern how the connection of crime and illegal immigration is forged by poverty. He supports this view by discussing the issues surrounding the quality of life at two sides of a border where one nation enjoys a higher standard of living than the other, with the obvious point that the tendency is for women to be shipped west from less affluent eastern countries. Ultimately, he points to financial despair and disparity, along with cloudy ideas about border policy as being primary sources of the existing problem. The evidence he presents sounds plausible, but it is all cited as secondary sources, with little hard data for the reader to digest. Though the sources are from respectable government and academic institutions, there are no hard numbers crunched in Bort's report."

From the Paper
"According to a separate report, "Migrant trafficking and smuggling has become a global business generating huge profits for traffickers and organized crime syndicates." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) In fact in a study conducted by IOM reports "...an estimated 15 to 30 million irregular migrants worldwide." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) Sadly a report of the U.S. Department of Justice states that an estimated "...700,000 women and children are trafficked yearly across borders." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) The reason stated that so many of these migrants go unreported is due to the inherent "...clandestine nature..." involved in so many of the lives and migration of these individuals."

Drug Trafficking in the United States, 2002.
This paper discusses that one of the most profitable markets in the United States is the illegal trafficking of drugs.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the background, problems of illegal drugs trafficking and the methods being used to stop the trafficking of drugs in the United States. This paper reveals that money seized in drug stings and received from fines for drug offenders is a billion dollar industry for the American government. The author believes that completely ending the entire drug trafficking business is almost impossible because there are too many loopholes and too much money at stake for both the dealers and the government.
From the Paper
"The largest distributor of drugs, especially cocaine, comes from Columbia. Interagency intelligence assessment statistics say that nearly sixty-five percent of all cocaine goes through the southern borders of the United States. Columbian dealers send the drugs through Mexico, whose laws are not nearly as strict, and the dealers in Mexico bring them across the border. They come through Texas and New Mexico by ground and California by ground, air and seaports."

Abstract
This paper explains that the three basic human trafficking markets, both legal and illegal, are (1) the legitimate or conventional market economies such as restaurants, factories and farms, (2) legitimate domestic service economy such as households maids and (3) the criminal economies of the forced sex industry, mostly prostitution. The author points out that, through deception and empty promises, people and even children are shuttled in secret, often illegally and in frightening conditions, to do work, which no one else will do, to places where they often cannot communicate and are forced to work through threats of violence. The paper relates that there are few resources to help these victims and very limited legal protection in the United States and elsewhere. The paper has many long quotations.

"Here are just a few statements from women who have been victims of human trafficking and forced prostitution. There are more stories than there are people to write them and more dehumanizing occurrences than most people would even believe. Yet, for the most part the public is not even aware of the situation; even historically, as few people know of the forced prostitution rings that sprang up in the Western United States during the gold rush and even fewer are aware that it happens today, here and all over the world."

From the Paper
""Travel Agency A Critique of Anti-Trafficking Campaigns" presents a critical and provocative analysis of the international campaigns against people smuggling in general, and the trafficking in women migrants in particular. Sharma's work, based in part upon her interviews with a twenty-four Chinese women who were among several boatloads of migrants smuggled to the west coast of Canada in 1999, challenges traditional institutional, national and feminist models of human trafficking. In this critical review of Sharma's work, its major points and arguments will be evaluated with reference to other works on this subject."

Abstract
This paper describes the extent of the problem of international drug trafficking. The paper analyzes the reasons for drug trafficking and the changing patterns in recent times, presenting an overview of the major drugs being trafficked internationally. The related problem of money laundering through which most of global drug trade is financed is also examined in the paper.
From the Paper
"A number of drugs including cocaine, opiates, cannabis, and synthetic drugs such as MDMA (ecstasy) and methamphetamines are considered illegal in most parts of the world. Declaring a substance illegal, however, does not mean that its use or demand can be eliminated as was so famously experienced in the United States after the alcohol prohibition in the 1920s. It just results in the creation of a black market in which the demand for the banned substances (in this case, illicit drugs) is met by organized criminals. Similarly, the current worldwide demand for illicit drugs is largely met through international drug trafficking-a multi billion dollar cross-border business that links the growers and producers of the illicit drugs with the consumers."

Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of human trafficking, focusing primarily on the issue of prostitution. According to the paper, this is just a modern day version of slavery as many are transported and sold against their will or without their knowledge, believing various false reasons for their movement. Many of the victims of human trafficking are underage minors.
From the Paper
"The human trafficking of women for the vice trades, mainly forced prostitution in a multitude of countries is a problem so monumental that most officials see no end to the problem. Resources are poor for the destruction of even the most large-scale offenders and most are under the false impression that the women arrive voluntarily, knowing the life they will follow when they arrive. It is a way to excuse the fact that all but the illegal immigration issues are perfectly acceptable and legal to many of the governments in the locations where the women end up. (Askew 328) Here are just a few statements from women who have been victims of human trafficking and forced prostitution."
