Alternative Solution
America is said to be the country moist vulnerable to sex trafficking do to the high demand in the sex industry. Many Americans do not know this. Other than keeping the sexual predators in jail along with the sexual exploiters, another possible solution could be to raise the awareness. Part of the reason this crime has flourished over the years is due to the lack of knowledge about it. Many people I have talked with either do not know it is a real issue or do not know it happens here in America. They see it as someone else’s problem. This is the same attitude we had about AIDS, and it is now a major issue world-wide. I find it disturbing that we do not educate the members of our society about human trafficking and that we do not make our children aware of the problem. Human trafficking is real and could be happening in your back yard. Raising the awareness of this type of crime would inform others that human trafficking is going on. Your child, sister, brother, dad, or mother could be involved. If more people knew about this the more of us would work together to try and stop it.

I agree that human trafficking is a major problem and something needs to be done. However, this is a difficult issue and does not have an easy solution. Raising awareness is a good start, but I do not believe that this alone will be very effective in stopping it from happening. People are aware of kidnappings and child abuse, but this is still a common problem because the general public can only do so much to prevent it from happening to their families. We could make the penalty life in prison, or death when possible. Furthermore, we could offer better protection for victims to give them incentive to come forward so the criminals can be prosecuted. We could possibly even offer a reward for any information that could help in the capture of these criminals. Ultimately, a large amount of money and time could be saved on looking for these individuals.
