Abstract
Human trafficking has been a global crisis existing since the 13th century. However, the action violates human rights and the mission to end modern-day slavery. Human trafficking can actively be done where people are forced to work, enslaved people, or commercial sexual exploitation; otherwise, passive human traffic exists in cases of forced marriage. The research needs to identify the source of the million cases of human trafficking as a gazette in the California charter. There is an urgent need to end modern-day slavery, promote equality consciousness, and promote humanity.
Introduction
Criminology relates to different topics. The research focuses on human trafficking as a discipline of criminology. The study incorporates various data collection methods such as observation and internet exploration. This article integrates knowledge from all sources to find out more about human trafficking, the possible reasons for the recent increase of related cases, and provide possible solutions as suggested.
Methodology: Secondary Data
Human trafficking has existed for centuries, and the misled culture continues today. According to (Adler, Mueller, and Laufer,2007), the slave trade still exists between developing and affluential countries. During the research, secondary methods of data collection used include; government publications, public records, documents, and internet exploration (Adler, Mueller, and Laufer,2007).
According to government publications on global human trafficking analysis, 70 percent of developing countries experience the challenge directly or indirectly (Cockbain & Bowers, 2019). The number of trafficking victims is estimated to be 27 million globally, with between one and two million trafficked each year internationally (Cockbain & Bowers, 2019). The clear case is in Pakistan, where sex trafficking is often seen as a regular activity to sustain basic needs.
The problem has become a global crisis in which fewer efforts to provide a long-lasting solution have entirely failed. (Cockbain & Bowers, 2019) says a common factor of human trafficking is sex trafficking across the borders between developing countries and affluent nations. Many victims of the immoral and violated actions are youths, majorly young women, and underage children trying to secure peanut earnings through sexual acts (Adler, Mueller, & Laufer,2007). Instead of helping the low-income families make a living, the affluents take advantage to harass them sexually and encourage sexual trafficking.
However, distinguished human trafficking, where low-income earners are forced labor is evident in the United States (Adler, Mueller, & Laufer,2007). Domestic trafficking and illegal labor mobility are apparent from state to state without the consent and agreement of the servant. In a case documented in the California gazette, a domestic lady worker from Pakistan working in a household in Chicago and signed for the household servant was transferred to Minnesota to work in a relative house without her consent or agreement with the same compensation (Cockbain & Bowers, 2019). This is a precise instance of direct violation of human rights and modern-day slavery.
Cockbain and Bowers (2019) state that since 2009, Canada has recorded a 29 percent instance of human trafficking affecting about 39 percent of her population. However, the citizen is aware it is prohibited by the legislation and a criminal offense (Cockbain & Bowers, 2019). This indicates apparent gross misconduct calling for law enforcement and severe punishment for the offenders. According to statists, nova scotia is an established corridor used to transport victims of domestic trafficking to Atlantic Canada. It indicates a failed government dealing with this inhumane action (Adler, Mueller, & Laufer,2007).
In another instance from global news and peace documentation, Africa has the most significant percentage of human trafficking activities Regarding forced labor, slavery, sex trafficking, and forced marriages and relationships. According to Cockbain & Bowers, (2019) statistics on criminology, Africans working in European, American, and Gulf countries are engaged in forced labor, contract agreement violations, extra uncompensated working hours, and even sexual engagement without their consent (Cockbain and Bowers, 2019). Alternatively, due to denominational and cultural concepts, young people are engaged with each other without their determination, yielding picked culture such as Karo Kari referring to women who refuse false engagement in Arabic culture (Cockbain and Bowers, 2019).
Human trafficking has been identified as a global crisis addressed by international tribunals, social service agencies, ambassadors, and media outlets. It has resulted in international and federal laws changing, attracting criminal investigations internationally ((Cockbain & Bowers, 2019). To fight sex trafficking, the global response needs a concurrent address, local lovers. The international court of criminals summons any nation that fails to implement human trafficking rules.
Human beings violate laws. Thus, implementing the law is not enough to combat the action entirely. Local levels of education and law interpretation on any attempt of human trafficking will work along. This requires educating victims on vulnerabilities, respect for humanity and human rights, freedom to work, and slavery response.
Theory
The social control theory focuses on techniques and strategies that regulate human behavior leading to conformity and obedience to society’s rules. The theory governs individual coordination in society and ensures it’s according to societal control (Adler, Mueller, and Laufer, (2007). It governs human actions from the individual level to the entire society. The theory applies to regulating human trafficking which is inhumane and wrong regarding all beliefs (Franchino-Olsen et al.,2022). Societal has a role to condemn evil acts and regulate human behavior in distinguishing what is right and wrong.
Methodology: Primary Data
Primary data collection methods are surveys, interviews, experiments, and questionnaires in the research. Interviews refer to interrogating an individual on how well they are conversant with the topic. Surveys refer to critical observation of the subject matter, in this case, human trafficking.
Using questionnaires, out of ten participants, at least six have directly or indirectly been a victim, most of them being African American citizens. From personal interviews, engaging a domestic manager locked in her boss's house and trying to reach out for government agencies' aid in vain is a factual existence of slavery and forced labor (Adler, Mueller, and Laufer,2007). Taking samples of the population, at least 20 percent have been victims of human trafficking.
Cockbain and Bowers, (2019), Federal and international law have failed to control the action. It calls for a new strategy to extinct the bypassed behavior promotes equality and humanity globally.
Given a chance to conduct research, I will engage the government, mainly the African American ambassadors, on federal law and their concern to ensure their workers in foreign nations are safe from human trafficking. Additionally, I will consider the origin of the issue through interviews and propose possible solutions (Franchino-Olsen et al.,2022). For instance, research needs vie from victims of the vulnerability of trafficking, possibly victims who engage in this illegal business, and the government to act on the set regulations.
Questions to be used in the questionnaires include;
· What is the experience of human trafficking as a victim?
· Did you seek any help from government offices, if yes, details about it.
· Have you witnessed any case of human trafficking from close contact?
· What should the federal government do to deal with human trafficking
Human trafficking is a global crisis involving all capitalist and communist nations. This shows the importance of a worldwide solution; however, the government might have failed due to a lack of valuable and informative sources on the ongoing crisis. Given a chance to do primary research, I will ensure informative research paper drafting to deliver this concurrent old narrative.
Considering the secondary data analysis, human trafficking is continuously growing up to date. The issue has been addressed by media such as the California gazette and government statistics. It is evident that malpractice mainly involving developing countries is still thriving regardless of global rules on the protection of human rights (Franchino-Olsen et al.,2022). The main reason could be the lack of enough education on the protection of human rights and poverty in developing countries.
Conclusion
Human trafficking is a global crisis involving all capitalist and communist nations. This shows the importance of a worldwide solution; however, the government might have failed due to a lack of valuable and informative sources on the ongoing crisis. Given a chance to do primary research, I will ensure informative research paper drafting to deliver this concurrent old narrative.
