Abstract

This chapter will review the definitions of human trafficking, trafficking epidemiology, and current trends in anti-trafficking approaches. Human trafficking definitions encompass an array of human rights violations which span multiple arenas including labor, commercial sex, involuntary servitude, and removal of organs for sale. We will review the US federal definition of trafficking, its origin, and describe some state-to-state variations of human trafficking definitions. In addition, we will review current knowledge on the epidemiology of adolescent trafficking, including limitations of current data. Finally, we will conclude with a discussion of positive trends in anti-trafficking work and directions for future research.
