Abstract

I plan to provide a general understanding of the industry followed by an in-depth evaluation of the technologies involved. I then will identify the nuances and variations as they occur in each country. Who are the victims who become the products and services driving the profits? How do they enter this industry and what cultural and economic variables sustain it? Where do they come from, what are their demographics and what are the social and cultural and political context within which this industry continues to thrive? What is the role of technology and how has it contributed to the expansion of underage sex trafficking and how might it possibly be a part of reducing this crime? What is this technology? What are the services available, and how are they marketed? How can technology stem the ever-growing tide of this phenomenon?
