Editor's Notes
Human Trafficking, as defined by the Federal Trafficking Victim Protection Act of 2000, is defined as “recruiting, harboring, moving or obtaining a person by force, fraud or coercion for the purposes of involuntary servitude, debt bondage or sexual exploitation.” Human trafficking is essentially modern-day slavery and is the most lucrative business for organized crime.
