If the leading body in your country is not even willing to stand up and stop such a horrid crime than those communities within that country will not even try. So, if corruption in these countries decreases then these potential traffickers would know that they could not simply bribe their way out of prosecution and therefore may think twice before committing the crime. Overall, this analysis suggests that if you reduce corruption than collective efficacy within that country may increase and lead to a decrease in human trafficking both to and from that country.
Social disorganization states that many of the above mentioned factors are obviously probably correlated to one another. For example, many of these countries have rapid growth in their …show more content…
Consumerism means that there is a substantial increase in demand for goods and services, and in the United States specifically there has been a high demand for more products in the last 30 years. For example, “there has been a resurgence in sweat shop conditions in the garment industry, agriculture, food production, residential and commercial construction, tourism, light industry, transport, the retail trade, and even some domestic services” (Shelley 2010). This labor is recruited from immigrants who are in need of jobs and may not have the correct working visas to work, therefore they are easily manipulated. It is easy to see that this type of slave labor is very profitable for individuals who even live in first world countries such as the United States. Looking at current immigration issues in the U.S. we can see that we disagree on immigration policies, and therefore it may be easier for these companies to reframe their human trafficking crimes as some sort of political issue. In Bruckert’s (2002) study he states that many of the trafficking cases going to countries have heavy political issues relating to border protection and national security. The theory of institutional anomie created by Messner and Rosenfeld (1994) draws from the conceptualization of anomie which was originally proposed by Durkheim. The aim of the institutional anomie theory is to simply explain crime rates at a larger level than just an individual. In particular, the higher crime rate of why human trafficking occurs to these areas is the cultural pressure exerted by economic goals of consumerism in America today. When looking at human trafficking coming to countries Bales (2007) states that consumerism is a leading factor in this, and looking at institutional anomie we can see that
