Abstract

The note argues that while the federal government has made significant strides in combating human trafficking through legislation like the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA), these efforts are insufficient due to the decentralized nature of the crime. It emphasizes the necessity for greater involvement from state agencies and local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to effectively address the diverse and localized manifestations of trafficking.
