This is what I am looking for: by Ivan Grishenko advised by Dr. Maliha Zulfacar. I am also considering doing my final master’s project on the analysis of data collected. If a society can predict and successfully convince millions of people to buy a widget for $100 using marketing data, maybe we can predict, reduce, prevent and rehabilitate based on human trafficking data. I will be on the search for these papers!
Ivan Grishenko, nice one! 🙂
With all of the data saved to this blog site, I would like to see more correlation studies…I would like to see more multivariate data analysis. Given, I am very new to the concepts. But, I would like to retrieve more when I am pulling data from the web…
I have often found my self making determinations like poverty is the cause of slavery or corruption is the cause of poverty…I would like to see more on the correlation and less determination. These statements are not to be taken completely literally, but I do often allow the correlation to overrun other analysis, perspective and possibility. It would be interesting to run trends between human trafficking and many other correlating figures. I would like to see what happens when one factor/variable/event is removed or another added…Maybe we could reduce trafficking by diluting/removing variables and/or adding others…
I would like to establish a better eye for this type of analysis in the future… For now, I will be thinking more about this: Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient…
Please reply if you have any analysis on human trafficking that shows this approach…

Recent domestic numbers provided by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children…
Times of India informs an estimated 29.6 million people are enslaved around the world. This is up from 27 million estimated… It’s 2015…These numbers really need to go down…Why are we moving backwards?
I have struggled with this one for a long time: family selling their girls into this horrific trade. Who is to blame? Is it poverty? Corruption? Evil? Culture? A little bit of each, maybe.

While probably obvious, more victims are lured over the internet. Huffington Post reported 3 out of 4 victims are exploited online. Check out their article here: Huffington Post on Sex Trafficking
