Applied Research Hypothesis

Human trafficking

First article title: Failing victims? Challenges of the police response to human trafficking.

The article investigates various factors that promoted effective response to cases of human trafficking and its victims. The independent variable in this study is promoting an effective response to human trafficking issues. The dependent variables include the barriers that undermine effective response to human trafficking issues (Farrell et al., 2019). The obstacles include poor communication, ignorance or lack of information on what to do by human trafficking survivors, poor coordination among human trafficking agencies, and the challenge of differentiating individuals in sex work as perpetrators from human trafficking victims. The study aims to determine the significance of dependent variables on the independent variable. From the analysis, the effective response to human response issues is determined by eliminating all the barriers above.

Article title: Policing human trafficking: Cultural blinders and organizational barriers

The study aimed at determining the influence that cultural binders and organizational barriers have on policing human trafficking. The barriers identified in the study which undermine policing human trafficking include broad public ambiguity concerning human trafficking. The barriers can lead to the unclear direction between lawmakers, the public, and the police leadership. Another barrier identified in the study is the lack of investigative culture and institutional and institutional structure that would allow the investigation of human trafficking (Farrell & Pfeffer, 2014). The independent variable in this study is human trafficking, and the dependent variables are the barriers are the cultural and organizational factors that undermine the investigation of human trafficking issues, such as lack of clear direction between lawmakers and the police and lack of institutional structure that would allow for the study of human trafficking cases.

Article 3

Identifying the unknown: Challenges and solutions to US human trafficking investigations

The study aims to determine challenges that police officers have to deal with in their fight against human trafficking (Fordyce, 2012). These issues include mistaken identity, inadequate resources to handle human trafficking issues properly, and poor interviewing procedures used during investigations with human trafficking victims. The independent variable in this study is the fight against human trafficking, while the dependent variable includes the challenges such as lack of resources, mistaken identity, and poor interviewing techniques that the police officer will have to deal with in the fight against human trafficking.
