Sex Trafficking Into The United States: A Literature Review

Edward J. Schauer

Prairie View A&M University

Elizabeth M. Wheaton

Temple University

This study is an investigation of the literature relating to the trafficking of women and children into the United States for sexual exploitation. The intent is to discover the extent and complexity of the problem, the cost in both human and economic terms, and research directions toward the development of probable political, legal, economic, and social solutions. A subject rife with research possibilities and probable solutions, trafficking is poorly defined, differentially and intermittently quantified, and handicapped by obsolete legal codes and a sexist prostitution enforcement paradigm. Recommended are state statute creation, police training and paradigm change, and increased/broadened victims’ services.

Key Words: sex trafficking • economics • sex work • feminism • United States
