Abstract: Human trafficking is a dishonorable and lucrative business, with numerous laws and definitions aimed to combat the crime. Prosecutions and identification of a trafficking case are extremely difficult for law enforcement personnel, due to the ambiguity of the definitions and laws put in place. Hundreds of thousands of victims fall into the sex industry each year, and more attention needs to be placed on combating the crime. Law enforcement have little to no training in regards to human trafficking situations, laws and definitions. To try to prevent trafficking from happening, there needs to be better education opportunities, higher standards of living in impoverished countries, a decrease in demand, better victim services provided, and better training for the courts and for law enforcement. Combating human trafficking proves to be a very difficult task, but with better definitions and laws, and more effective court involvement, it is possible.
