Child Trafficking / Prostitution in the U.S.
For those of you who missed WLSA and MJF's event a couple weeks ago on human trafficking, this video gives a quick look at one of the topics discussed: convicting victims. The discussion could tie in with Professor Marshal's discussion of convicting victims and whether we should expect victims to uphold certain duties at our event a couple weeks ago. It definitely echoes Professor Feld's description of the lack of services for juvenile vagrants and how the juvenile justice system has become the default means of removing juveniles from the streets at our event last semester. I'm curious what you might think.
Should prostitution be criminalized?
Are there other means for responding to juvenile "delinquency" or vagrancy currently in place? What might be the practical realities of creating other means?
What might the victims' duties be in cases of human trafficking? Cooperating to reveal their pimps so that the perpetrators of traffickers can be brought to justice?
And, the tag beneath the video suggests that prostitution is organized crimes third largest industry. How does that affect the way we treat trafficking in the U.S.? The ways we could try to end it?
