Because freedom of choice and economic gain are at the heart of productivity, human trafficking impedes national and international economic growth. Within the next 10 years, crime experts expect human trafficking to surpass drug and arms trafficking in its incidence, cost to human well-being, and profitability to criminals (Schauer and Wheaton, 2006: 164–165). The loss of agency from human trafficking as well as from modern slavery is the result of human vulnerability (Bales, 2000: 15). As people become vulnerable to exploitation and businesses continually seek the lowest-cost labour sources, trafficking human beings generates profit and a market for human trafficking is created. This paper presents an economic model of human trafficking that encompasses all known economic factors that affect human trafficking both across and within national borders. We envision human trafficking as a monopolistically competitive industry in which traffickers act as intermediaries between vulnerable individuals and employers by supplying differentiated products to employers. In the human trafficking market, the consumers are employers of trafficked labour and the products are human beings. Using a rational-choice framework of human trafficking we explain the social situations that shape relocation and working decisions of vulnerable populations leading to human trafficking, the impetus for being a trafficker, and the decisions by employers of trafficked individuals. The goal of this paper is to provide a common ground upon which policymakers and researchers can collaborate to decrease the incidence of trafficking in humans.

The goal of justice-making in Africa is the restoration of victims and the reintegration of the offender back into the community. The restoration of relationships and social harmony undermined by the conflict is also an important goal of African justice. The effectiveness of African justice system derives from the fact that all stakeholders have equal access and participation in the conflict resolution process. All voices are recognized and respected in the process and decisions are reached through a consensus. Justice-making further creates an opportunity for the learning and the reexamination of important values and the socio-economic conditions of the community. Important African communitarian principles of caring for one another and the spirit of mutual support are fostered in the process of justice-making. It is also appreciated that the survival of the community depends on the well-being of the individual. An African word, Ubuntu better captures the underlying African world-view that expresses Africa’s egalitarian, humanistic, interconnectedness, communitarian and participatory democratic values. This study examines the principles and practices of African indigenous justice system in contemporary times and makes a case that these justice principles can be applied to justice making in the United States and other places.

... Police training on child trafficking is a critical need and gap.

(2006) surveyed 163 municipal and county police departments to measure local law enforcement's attitudes, training, and policy concerning trafficking and found that only seven agencies (8%) had conducted or received training in human trafficking. ...

... Although missing from Farrington's (2006) review of developmental life course theories, within feminist theories of criminology pathways theory and research has been providing a gendered contrast for LCT by highlighting contexts, events, developmental sequences, and choices over the life course that result in female delinquency and criminality (e.g., Chesney-Lind & Pasko, 2004; Daly, 1992; Morash, 2006; Heimer & Kruttschnitt, 2006; Miller & Mullins, 2006). According to pathways theory, female involvement in criminal activities may be the result of social and psychological pressures that are distinct from typical male pathways into crime (Alarid & Cromwell, 2006). Research conducted by Daly (1992) revealed in a set of distinct paths of female offenders into various types of crime. ...

... Other scholars, especially of African extraction, have largely viewed culture as occupying a reverential position in the scheme of things, being part of a peoples" social identity; that which is fundamental to their collective wellbeing and tied to their spirituality; shaping their worldviews and moulding their interpretation of existence (Ogbonnanya, 2017;Gyekye, 2014;Oko Elechi, et al, 2010). Culture, therefore, "means more than arts, song and dance…The culture of a people is their total way of life, and this is seen as well in their work and recreation as in their worship and courtship; it is seen also in their ways of investigating nature and utilising its possibilities and in their way of viewing themselves and interpreting their place in nature" (Wiredu, 1997: 10). ...
