through the criminal justice system. Attention is given to how, under the forces of globalization, the production of unprecedented re-writing for the human body is utilized as a commodity for wealth, prestige, and over all control of another human-being, which produces the criminal consequences of such action. This theory demands originative ways for rethinking the relationship between sex, gender, power, and ultimately criminal consequence. This must be observed in theoretical terms by globalization of the transnational crime.
This essay is concerned and will endeavor to explicate the connection of globalization and human trafficking as it pertains to transnational crime. My study will present concepts of recruitment and transportation of persons through coercion, deception, or other forms of illicit influence in labor and sexual exploitation. Observations that need to be answered to through qualitative and quantitative research:
Define human trafficking - What are the components?
Is it a global or domestic issue?
Analysis of the more deleterious part of the movement of victims
Negative Impact vs Economic Growth in Underdeveloped Countries
Contextual issues and definitional controversies
Utilizing transnational sociological framework cross-border trafficking middle-income rather vs lower-income countries criminalization and victim rights advocacy or lack of representation
Defining human trafficking presents a challenge, as does where the focus and methods of measurement due to the broad qualitative standards in global legal systems. Human Trafficking as defined in sociological terms is agreeing upon a consistent definition and methods of measuring trafficking, in correlation with the continued focus on the sex trafficking of women into prostitution and labor to the exclusion of other types of trafficking and genders (McCarthy 2013). Trafficking and Global Crime Control is the second most researched growing interest in crimes among criminologists, sociologists, policymakers and non-governmental organizations only below Serial Capital Crime. It is this vast interest, the statistics of escalation and also the need for assistance and cooperation internationally that helps to give substance to the fact trafficking is not only a domestic but global concern. A negative aspect of globalization that deserves more attention is the international movement of labor, child abduction, and exploitation of human trafficking in the US as compared to developing countries. The goal of this research is to from a description and analysis of trafficking, the more injurious part of coercion and control of people, in a global context. Decision makers seeking to make global migration more humane need to study dynamics and process of trafficking, as well as ways to combat the issue. Definitional controversies, contextual issues (including the dynamics and processes of trafficking), and consequences of this movement for individuals and societies are discussed. Statistics:
Approx. 27 million worldwide
Approx. 80% in the sex trade are female, while 77% are male labor trade
Mapping current trafficking activities
Potentially one of the worst forms of labor exploitation (Dark-side exploitation)
Fastest growing criminal industry, 2nd to drug dealing in the U.S. (Loring, 2015)
The US is a major receiver of trafficked victims range 15,000-50,000 per year Problems
Data is highly under-reported
Victims are hard to identify
Victims generally come from oppressed countries
Global and domestic issue
