Research Paper On Human Trafficking

It is the world’s fastest growing global crime that people are being bought, sold and smuggled for sexual exploitation, domestic servitude, bonded labour and even organ sacrifice ending up with death. The most tragic fact is 26% of the victims that are sucked into trafficking are children. In this violation of human rights’ grave, where persons have a price tag, anyone can be a victim. Human trafficking doesn’t discriminate on age, gender, race or religion. It is happening to humans, just like

Due to the fact that illegal immigrants usually come into the country with nothing, they find that committing crimes is their only way to live. Many immigrants find that using robbery and fraud is an easy way to gain large sums of money, seeing that they usually are unable to find steady jobs. They are also more violent. After realizing in their past country that they could get away with harsh crimes, they figure they can do it here as well. Over one hundred illegal immigrants whom were caught and released have continued to be charged with murders.

Like it is mentioned in the movie 13th “The so called war on drugs was a war on communities of color”. So, now black people are being arrested much more than White people even though the drug use is close to the same as Angela F. Chan points out in her article for the Huffington Post. “Even though Black people use drugs at the same rate as White people, they are incarcerated for drug crimes at 20 to 50 times the rate of White people in some states”. A law that was passed during the war on drugs was mandatory sentencing.

A common issue in today’s society is the increasing number of young people who are being sentenced for joint enterprise. There are many arguments for and against this law due to many not wanting innocent people locked up for a crime they witnessed, or being sentenced for observing dangerous and illegal actions which isn’t actually their fault. I believe joint enterprise should no longer be used. The reason for this is because I personally think only the one who commits the crime should hold a punishment. I do believe those who took part deserve to be punished too, just not as severely.

This meant that having only 5 grams of crack in one 's possession meant a minimum of five years jail time while having 500 grams of powder cocaine equaled the same amount of jail time (WIKIPEDIA). This law along with pre-existing racial prejudice made it that black people are incarcerated at a rate ten times higher than whites (5D). This was observed by a sociologist Katherine Beckett and her research team in

isn’t the only thing people believe needs to change; the reasons for arrests have been criticized by many. America incarcerates more citizens for drug related crimes than any other place in the world. Of the roughly 200,000 in federal prison, 52% are being held for drug crimes and only 8% are for violent crimes, such as: murder, assault, and robbery (Waldman, 2013). Many believe that the “War on Drugs” must become less aggressive because of its large contribution to the prison population. The distribution of prisoners by race has also raised concern among Americans.

Immigration Policy Sean T. Griffin St. Petersburg College   Immigration Policy Each generation deals with immigrants from other countries into the United States in different ways and the immigrants usually have to deal with issues such as oppression. There are legal ways into America which are difficult and are made nearly impossible due to the foreign immigrants’ current resources and knowledge. The immigrants, who are struggling in their own countries have no choice other than to get into America in another way, illegally. The current immigration policy is proving to be failing because currently 3.5% of the United States population is built off of illegal immigrants ("5 facts about illegal immigration in the U.S.").

“The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil but by those who watch them without doing anything”-Albert Einstein Human Trafficking is the trade of humans for the purpose of sexual slavery, forced labour, organs removal, commercial sex exploitation and economic exploitation. Normally, trafficking is done by threat, compulsion, abduction, fraud, misleading, abuse of power, vulnerability, giving payments or benefits to a person in control of the victim .Trafficking in person is a serious crime and dignified violation of human rights . Most of people nowadays do not know that human slavery still exists; after it was abolished 150 years ago, its proven when there is an auction of young women intended for sexual slavery occurred publicly in Britain highly policed location and another auction even took place in front of a café at Greenwich Airport, Britain (News by BBC UK, 4 June 2006, 14.31 GMT). These crimes have been booming and become a global phenomenon when victims from at least 153 countries were detected in 124 countries worldwide between 2010 and 2012.

It’s said that we should not criminalize the undocumented immigrants. The Migration Policy Institute has estimated that 820,000 of the 11 million unauthorized have been convicted of a crime. About 300,000, of the 11 million undocumented, have committed felonies. Compared to the proportion of felons in the overall population, the ratio is only a half (3 percent) (Nazgol Ghandnoosh 2017). Though the undocumented immigrants may not be the criminal themselves, it still arouses serious social disorder through forming intricate environment.

Acourding to foxnews.com 2.1 million illigal immigrant have a criminal recored. People say that this make illegal immigrants dangerous. People think that an easy solution for this would be to deport every single illegal immigrant and crime would go down. However deporting every single immigrant would be very costly and would not merely help the crime, according to (yubanet) 65 million Americans have a criminal record. Also deporting 11.4 million immigrant because of crime is not a good idea because only 2.1 million of the illegal immigrant have a criminal record, and some of the crime committed were not violent crimes.

Using the taxpayer’s money to keep a prisoner in a special system is not good for anyone. The death penalty is not good at deterring criminals, unlike having life in prison. California should change their death penalty system to cut the billions of dollars going to keep prisoners on death row.  Works Cited “End the death penalty in California.”

The lack of resources to extract DNA is continuing to effect the justice system. The backlogs of rape kits throughout the United States has become an overwhelming number while the crime labs have been doing very little to compensate for these changes. Not only does the inefficiency of DNA analysis effect rape kits, rapes effect thousands of innocent humans every year. It is an ongoing cycle and very little is being done to stop it. Although hard to help with the rates of crime, specifically rapes, there is something that can be done with bring these sexual offenders to justice.

According to the 2014 Oklahoma statutes, the crime of knowingly participating in human trafficking is punishable by five years to life and a fine of not more than 100,000 dollars (Justia Law). Some would argue that with the overcrowding of prisons, penalties
