Abstract

The topic of modern-day slavery or human trafficking has received increased media and national attention. However, to date, there has been limited research on the definitions and types of human trafficking. This article describes and synthesizes the legal representative knowledge of, and experience with, human trafficking cases. This article has two main goals: (a) to define what human trafficking is, (b) to describe types, and forms identified as contributing to vulnerability to being trafficked and keeping a person entrapped in the situation.
