Human Trafficking
Introduction
For this response, let's consider the states of Florida and New Jersey and analyze their human
trafficking laws as of the 2019 Report Cards.
Florida:
Criminal Provisions for Human Traffickers: According to section 787.06 from the Florida codes
section, committing a human trafficking crime is the most prohibited sin that can ever be
engaged in. According to Florida's code section, this may lead to a fine of up to $100,000.
Therefore, this remains one of the most severe cases one can find/ herself in.
Safeguards for Child Victims: Florida also has protection measures for child sufferers. These
rules are essential to ensure that baby victims are handled as sufferers in preference to offenders.
The Florida criminal gadget acknowledges the vulnerability of the trafficking of minors and aims
to provide guidance and safety.
New Jersey:
Criminal Procedure for Trafficking in Persons: Trafficking in individuals in New Jersey is
addressed under N.J.S.A. 2c:13-eight. Like Florida, its miles are categorized as a first offense,
the most critical offense in New Jersey. If convicted of human trafficking, the defendant faces
between 10 and twenty years in jail and a satisfactory of up to $200,000.
Safeguards for Child Victims: New Jersey also has protection measures for child victims,
which includes the Safe Harbor Act. The law ensures that those involved in prostitution with
3
minors are handled as sufferers rather than criminals, which is consistent with the ideas of victim
law.
Analysis:
a. Stricter Laws for Traffickers: Comparing the two states, Florida and New Jersey have
stringent legal guidelines towards human trafficking. Both classify it as a primary diploma
offense, and the viable penalties are extreme, consisting of lifestyle imprisonment. Deciding
which nation has stricter legal guidelines is far more complex because the punishment's severity
is comparable. However, New Jersey has a better maximum first-rate, which will be visible as a
stricter economic penalty.
b. Situational Crime Prevention Theory: According to the Situational Crime Prevention
principle, one would possibly assume the state with greater excessive punishments (together with
lifestyle imprisonment) to potentially have fewer incidents of human trafficking. Strict penalties
can be a deterrent to traders. But it's crucial to remember that the success of those laws depends
on several variables, including enforcement efforts, public awareness of the problems, and victim
assistance.
c. Human trafficking incidents: We will require access to identical information in these two
nations, which can also vary here, to assess whether fewer occurrences have been reported
through the trafficking Helpline in a nation with more onerous legal restrictions. It's crucial to
remember that factors other than just how harsh the rules are can influence how many of the
cases above occur. Public cognizance, sufferer aid services, and law enforcement attention play
considerable roles in reporting.

Question 2: Useful Resources for Research
The three areas outlined for human trafficking research are all valuable in their own right, but the
selection depends on the specific research needed:
Trafficking in Persons Report (T.I.P. Report): U.S. Published annually by the State
Department, the report provides a comprehensive assessment of human trafficking worldwide
and includes country-specific data, an assessment of government efforts, and recommendations.
It is an excellent resource to hear under the global context and measure the effectiveness of
domestic trafficking efforts.
United Nations Journal on Drugs and Crime: This list focuses on international legal systems
and treaties related explicitly to trafficking in persons and is a valuable resource to understand
the legal aspects of efforts created to combat human trafficking worldwide.
Global Slavery Index: This resource provides estimates of the global prevalence of modern
slavery and includes country case studies. It can be beneficial to understand the prevalence and
underlying causes of human trafficking in different settings. The T.I.P. Report and the Global
Slavery Survey can benefit a research project in this study. The T.I.P. report provides extensive
data on country-specific efforts and challenges combating human trafficking. In contrast, the
Global Slavery Survey provides data on the prevalence of modern slavery to help make a case
that is forced worldwide.
