1. Is the effect of human trafficking greatly exaggerated?
In a word, no. The final statistic about human trafficking in the United States deals with the criticism that some people have directed at the hype surrounding human trafficking, claiming that its effect has been exaggerated and the laws enacted in response are not clearly drafted and infringe on civil rights. However, I have read enough first-hand counts of the horrors inflicted on the victims to know that this is not an exaggeration, but one of the coldest, most brutal industries to currently exist and every possible action needs to be taken in order to combat it.
That being said, these were the 16 statistics about human trafficking in the United States.
