Research Questions for Human Trafficking

Research for Question for Human Trafficking:

(possibilities):

Is the human trafficking industry more successful than industries such as the drug trade? --> what makes it more or as successful? (why/how?)

If the US is indeed one of the main countries that is greatly involved in human trafficking, why is it not a more prominent issue?
Where is human trafficking most prominent in the US?

To answer these questions, I will need to research human trafficking in the US. Where does the people come from? How do they get into the US? Where do they go? I will also need to know the financial side of human trafficking, for example how much a human would cost from a certain country.

I will most likely be using sources such as new articles and websites. I would also possibly like to look for a first hand account from a person that had been sold in human trafficking, I think that would be a very valuable source.
