An Ounce of Prevention: Improving the Preventative Measures of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act

Trafficking is a multi-billion dollar industry that affects the lives of millions of people, especially young girls and women. In an effort to combat this issue, the United States enacted the Trafficking Victims Protection Act in 2000. The Act has had some positive effects on the trafficking industry, but its preventative measures overlook or fail to deal sufficiently with some key factors: human rights issues, gender and economic inequalities, and sensationalism of the sex industry. This Note discusses these three issues and their importance in establishing more effective preventative measures. Additionally, this Note looks to two approaches to trafficking, the human rights approach and the U.N. Protocol approach, and discusses how incorporation of these two approaches into the Trafficking Victims Protection Act would provide a better framework within which to combat the trafficking industry

Resource Guide for State Legislators: Model Provisions for State Anti-Trafficking Laws

This Guide presents a series of model legislative provisions that state legislators can use to create either a comprehensive state anti-trafficking law or to begin with one or more of the recommended legislative initiatives. Our analysis and recommendations derive from both the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, as reauthorized in 2003, and from successful state laws. We thus provide a user-friendly document that offers the most effective state legislative language and strategies that have been proven to work in state legislatures

A Comparative Analysis of Federal and State Sex Trafficking Laws and Legal Framework

This research explores the current sex trafficking laws in the United States. Sex trafficking is a current form of modern slavery because people engage in sexual activity by force, coericon or fraud. To combat this issue the federal law Trafficking Victims Protection Act was created to prevent and protect victims while prosecuting sex traffickers. The safe harbor law was also created which protects minors from being treated as criminals by the criminal justice system. The problem is that the law differs from state to state. The current study examined how states having different interpretation of sex trafficking laws can make it difficult to address what sex trafficking is and the services that come with them. The design of this study addresses the Trafficking Victims Protection act and safe harbor laws in states while comparing them to the federal law. The sample is of the laws and legal framework of sex trafficking laws. The results showed that some Trafficking Victims Protection act need to be more detailed because some states deal with sex trafficking at a higher rate then other states and it makes it easier to prosecute offenders when the law is worded differently. The results demonstrated that the safe harbor law is not a federal law so it is only in 36 of the 50 states. The safe harbor law was essentially the same in all of the states my research addressed. However, in all of the state\u27s research and federal laws both the specialized services that are included in the laws differ from state to state based on the funding provided.https://ecommons.udayton.edu/stander_posters/3499/thumbnail.jp

The Policy Dynamics of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (2000)

This study examines the creation and implementation of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act 2000 (TVPA). This research builds on the literature in the area of the policy-making process, specifically focusing on the issue attention cycle, agenda setting, and implementation. This study begins with a focus on the role the media plays in framing the issue, turns to a consideration of Congress and the passage of the TVPA, and concludes with an examination of the implementation of the act through executive branch use of sanctions. I suggest that human trafficking was framed as a criminal justice issue by both the media and Congress, thus shaping the implementation of the policy at home and abroad

Human Trafficking: Protecting Human Rights in the Trafficking Victims Protection Act

Trafficking in persons is the most widespread manifestation of modern-day slavery, with an estimated four million people trafficked worldwide every year. Modern technology and globalization enable networks of criminals to operate internationally and prey upon those who are impoYerished and vulnerable. Craig McGill\u27s book describes the various ways in which countries seek to combat illegal immigration and trafficking by strengthening law enforcement, and suggests that these solutions do not address the source of the problem. This Book Review argues that anti-trafficking strategies must view trafficking not only from a law enforcement perspective directed to the perpetrators, but also from a human rights perspective by adequately protecting and assisting victims of human trafficking. The Trafficking Victims Protection Act recognizes the need to protect the victims\u27 human rights, but fails to offer the comprehensive protection policy necessary to be effective
