for sex traffickers to get into certain countries and they are protecting them from

other police that are not apart. In America police help in organized crime is now

jail for the crimes that they commit because the police are not working against

Wrist?” ABC News, ABC News Network, 28 June 2013,

prison/story?id=19520482. In the US punishments for sex traffickers are usually

not harsh at all and that is why people continue to easily get into trafficking rings.

Barriers such as their victims being too afraid to testify, legislation sees

prostitution as a misdemeanor crime, and the short sentencing scares away many

victims because they will believe that the trafficker will only get a short sentence.

The government is set up in a way that most drug dealers will receive a longer

sentence than sex traffickers.
