Literature Review

The reason I am talking about this is because this is not an issue that has always been like this. In the past 10 years the numbers have started to roar and we must raise awareness before it is too late. Between 2008 and 2012 there has been a 259% call increase to the NHTRC (National Human Trafficking Resource Center). The numbers are really starting to get out of hand and its scary. In the past 5 years there have been 9298 unique cases of human trafficking. 

As you can see, in the past 6 years there isn't one single state that human trafficking hasn't affected. Some more than others but this is really an issue that is concering. The reason that this type of behavior occurs is because there isn't too much of a risk to it and there is a very high reward in pay. The way we eliminate this is we start cracking down laws and make this a priority to fix because it is on the verge of getting to the point of no return.  It seemed as if this type of behavior was only occurring over seas but we now know that we are officially concerned with this issue and raising awareness is the first step. 

Basically, our groups plan is to compose questions and answers about human trafficking. We will go around campus and ask random students about human trafficking to get a general consensus on what people know about human trafficking. I assume that people won't know to much and the information that they find out about human trafficking will be very interesting,
