The Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act
This paper reviews the rights and protection that a state and federal government official provides to citizens that have been the subject of human trafficking crimes. Citizens need the protection of the police and other law enforcement officials to report human trafficking crimes and to protect and assist those that need their assistance. This paper will seek to explain the definition of human trafficking, how it works, victim support, issues with upholding and implementing legislature and the solutions which can be used to satisfy the public.

Introduction
There are several amendments to the United States Constitution that provide governmental officials with the essential tools to protect the people of the United States against human trafficking crimes. Human trafficking crimes are crimes against humanity. They involve the act of enlisting, moving, transferring, harboring or receiving a person by way of the use of force, coercion or other means, for the purpose of exploiting them. Every nation in the world is affected by trafficking, whether as a nation of origin, transit or destination for victims.
The purpose of this project is to inform its readers that human trafficking crimes are becoming more and more recognized as a valid and constitutional way of seeking severe punishment for those who commit them. States all through the United States are beginning to look at their laws as citizens become progressively more involved with the implementation and enactment of human trafficking legislation.
The significance of this project to my field is a vital and viable means to draw awareness to this problem and work as an advocate against it. It is also important to establish help for victims of this crime. I hope to be able to work closely with victim programs to assist in any way possible to help those who have been a victim of this crime. There are current two national organizations that work with these victims the first is the Office for Victims of Crime and the second is the Office on Violence against Women.
Review
Human trafficking, frequently known as modern day slavery is a global phenomenon that involves obtaining or maintaining the labor or services of a person by way of the use of force, fraud, or coercion in infringement of a person's human rights. Making billions of dollars in income every year, human trafficking is one of the world's quickest growing criminal activities, operating on the same scale as the unlawful trade of guns and drugs. Sparked by global financial conditions and increased global mobility, the market for and trade of human beings persists to get bigger quickly.
Those who traffic in humans can sell and resell their product forcing each victim to suffer over and over again. Even though real figures are hard to find out due to the subversive nature of the trade, the U.S. State Department's 2006 Trafficking in Persons Report approximates that up to nine hundred thousand people are trafficked every year globally, with seventeen thousand of these victims trafficked into the United States. These statistics do not include those people who are trafficked inside the border of the United States. It is projected that eight percent of those who are trafficked are women and children.
Our U.S. Constitution provides numerous constitutional amendments that provide governmental agencies with the authority to protect and remedy acts of human trafficking. The due process clause of the Fifth Amendment states that "No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime...nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation."
The 13th amendment to the U.S. Constitution states that "Neither...

Human Trafficking National Security Implications The objective of this study is to conduct an analysis of how policy on human trafficking emerged relating to U.S. national security policy-making processes and politics.

Additionally, it has been observed that the Obama Administration's approach differs from the Bush Administration in that the latter was more short-sighted in its anti-trafficking goals (Ditmore, 2009). The Bush Administration was focused primarily on combating sex trafficking, while the Obama Administration aims to address a wider array of abusive labor practices (Ditmore, 2009). The aims of the Obama Administration reach for wider public support and attempting to deal
Social Policy Analysis Report Definition of Social Problem In recent decades, sex trafficking has become a substantial social problem affecting the whole world and continues to necessitate worldwide collaboration to combat it (Brooks and Heaslip, 2019) entirely.

Human Trafficking: Comparative Analysis of Human Trafficking in the United States with the World Stephanie I.

MYTH: Decriminalizing prostitution would save a lot of money because police wouldn't have to arrest prostitutes or johns or pimps. FACT: Decriminalization of prostitution has resulted in expensive legal challenges because no one wants prostitution zoned into their neighborhood or near their kids' schools. Mustang Brothel was shut down because of tax evasion. Pimps are simply not going to hand over the massive profits that they make from the business of
