Analysis of Criminal Justice Associate’s Survey
Human trafficking is defined as the process of subjugating people, forcing them to a no-way-out state, and manipulating them. It involves enrolment, conveying people into a situation of mistreatment via violence, and enforced to work against their will. Some of the reasons behind human trafficking are prostitution, domestic enslavement, and forced labor (Jaclyn G,2019).
After reviewing the result of the survey through the questionnaire, I have found that most of the youths in the United States are typical in the human traffic issue. The agency within Florida has little information about the human trafficking and violation protection Act. They have inadequately trained personnel who can deal with human trafficking cases. According to the survey, it was noted that during the year 2018, girls below 17 years were forced into prostitution, and most of them are non-US citizens. Drug trafficking is at a lower peak according to the number of cases reported according to the survey. On the contrary, human trafficking occurs often and has been on the increase yearly in Florida and the United States at large.
The rate of human trafficking in the United States has received more attention from the media and the government but has not changed. The cases of human trafficking are more prevalent in an urban area than in rural areas of Florida. Some of the organization do not have formal procedures for identifying and responding to human trafficking activities. The cases should be reported to the state agency. The victims should be referred to as counseling housing and treatment centers. The main challenge that the employees face while working with the victims is that victims are not willing to give information so that they can be assisted. Service industry workers are victims of trafficking. The victims portray cues such as avoiding eye contact, paranoia, fear, and anxiety. Some people are not familiar with law enforcement and how to address the problem.
