Feel free to do more research on child sex trafficking (share links with us for extra points). How does social structure theory explain the role of social class in sex trafficking? How does one's social class make them more vulnerable to victimizations of violence? In the case of the child sex slaves, how does the concentration effect exacerbate sexual exploitation? Which one of Merton's social adaptations can you apply to the sex traffickers? Which applies to the sex slaves?

You can choose one of those three questions and write an essay.(200 words minimum.)
