0 comments
Human trafficking is the third largest criminal activity in the world, behind illegal arms and drug sales. It is a leading source of profits for organized crime, generating between $7 billion and $10 billion annually according to U.N. estimates. Human trafficking affects every country in the world. DIILS addresses this global problem in a new module entitled "Trafficking in Persons". The module explains the latest international efforts to combat human trafficking, implications for domestic laws, and how interagency cooperation is crucial to the process of stopping the problem. The subject of "Trafficking in Persons" has been incorporated into DIILS seminars on "Legal and Ethical Concerns in Public Agencies".
