One of the most serious and quick forms of transnational crime in the world today is human trafficking (Ngwe, 2012). Slavery can be an exceptionally sensitive subject, and when it is raised individuals begin to think about the Civil War period and the numerous African Americans utilized as slaves. A huge number of slaves were liberated when President Lincoln marked the Emancipation Proclamation. Numerous individuals trust that servitude has arrived at an end in today 's reality. In any case, this truth is not genuine. The new term that is being utilized for subjugation is human trafficking as it happens all through the United States and around the globe. Human trafficking is the illegal trade of human beings for the purpose of forced labor workers or sex slaves. Thousands and thousands of people are being forced in the human trafficking trade even though many countries have tried to stop slavery. Profits of human trafficking across the globe come to $44 billion a year. It is estimated that 18,000 foreign nationals are trafficked annually in the United States alone (Human Trafficking, 2010). However, these estimates cannot certainly be reliable due to the fact that the amount has decreased throughout the years starting from 50,000 in 1999, in 2003 it decreased to 20,000, and now researchers are finding that there has been even more of a decrease today (Knepper, 2013).

The centrality of the study is to appear and clarify more current data that has not been looked into and more data to show signs of improvement comprehension of what human trafficking is and how it functions. Many steps have been taken in order to help prevent human trafficking in Ohio, however the information that is obtained is not truly accurate in explaining how serious this crime is In order to find information on the research of human trafficking, researchers tend to look at two sources of data; one being cases reported by the government and two being survey research (Zhang, 2012).

She had come to the United States to seek employment in hotels.
