Human Trafficking
What has caused the recent rise in Human Trafficking in the United States?
I will have to find sources that give hard facts and figures about the growth rate of kidnappings and human trafficking cases in the US. I will need a source that explains the significance of human trafficking and how criminals profit from it. I will also have to find a trained professionals opinion or viewpoint on the issue and why they think it is growing.

International Human Rights Reasearch Proposal
I would like to research human trafficking and it recent growth around the world.
I have always been amazed that such a huge illegal market is right under our noses. So many people go missing and it is never in the media. I have been inspired by the movies: Spartan , Trade, and Eastern Promises. I would like to research how this industry has changed since the release of these movies and what is being done to stop it.
