THE LORD JESUS SPOKE TO ME MY HEART, and human trafficing in the U.S. must BE PUT TO AND END!

https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/215475.pdf he United States is widely regarded as a destination country for trafficking in persons, 

yet the exact number of human trafficking victims within the United States has remained largely
undetermined since passage of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) in 2000.  Initial
estimates cited in the TVPA suggested that approximately 50,000 individuals are trafficked into
the United States each year.  This number was reduced to 18,000–20,000 in the U.S. Department
of State’s June 2003 Trafficking in Persons Report.  In its 2005 report, the Department of State’s
Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons cites 14,500–17,500 individuals annually.
These shifting figures call into question the reliability of estimates and have potential
consequences for the availability of resources to prevent human trafficking, prosecute traffickers,
and protect and serve victims of this crime.
Due to the covert nature of the crime, accurate statistics on the nature, prevalence, and
geography of human trafficking are difficult to calculate.  Trafficking victims are closely
guarded by their captors, many victims lack accurate immigration documentation, trafficked
domestic servants remain “invisible” in private homes, and private businesses often act as a
“front” for a back-end trafficking operation, which make human trafficking a particularly
difficult crime to identify and count.  A method to obtain valid and reliable estimates of this
inherently hidden problem is critical for planning and assessing national and international
interdiction and prevention initiatives.
This report is organized in six sections.  The next section presents results of a literature
review and features a review of relevant prosecuted legal cases.  Sections three and four describe
the qualitative and quantitative methods used to develop the estimation models.  Section five
discusses the data used in each of the models while section six presents estimates from the
models, as well as estimates of trafficking out of the United States, to test the validity of the
models.  Section seven provides a summary of the research, limitations of the models, and
recommendations for improving them.
