“In fact, it is closely related to slavery in various forms throughout history. For example, in imperial Rome, 30% to 40% of the population was made up of slaves trafficked in from Thrace, Gaul, Britain, and Germany (Collingridge, 2006). During this time, wars were often fought merely to procure more slave labor (Cahill, 1995; Goldsworthy, 2006; Rawson, 1993). Furthermore, America is no stranger to slavery.” (pg.4) LOGAN
“Although most of the world’s countries eliminated slavery long ago, trafficking in human beings has become one of the most lucrative activities of organized criminal groups, who have proven to be highly effective in entering countries and regions impoverished by wars, armed conflicts, or badly managed transitions in government.” (pg.2)
